I turned on car it won’t start. It didn’t even crank. Not a clicAnyone know deal with this before? Never had a paristic draw before. But yea the battery voltage was like at 10 volts but didn’t turn/click when I turned the key
Paristic draw?

First you need to fully charge (if it will take one) and test battery resting voltage first, then do a load test. Could be a bad battery
Agreed, first you need to charge it (if you don't have a tender, might be a good time to buy one), then check the usual suspects, like glove compartment light, hatch light, etc.
If it doesn't turn out to be something easy (i'm betting it does though), you can get load testers that plug into the fuse locations.

I just bought a brand new alternator yesterday and had my battery recharged. The car is on but the red “amp” light on especially when I push the gas. So I’m thinking the battery bad that’s why I’m getting the red amp light?
Thansk guys . It was bad alternator. I also swapped the inline fuse just to be on safe side.
I would have thought the battery light would have been triggered on the previous ride before you parked the car, letting you know there was a charging problem.
Sounds like the battery ran low on the last drive and then it was out of power the next time you tried to drive the car.

Glad you found the culprit...just an FYI in the event you aren't aware or if it helps anyone else, as AeroCoupe mentioned if you have the sunvisors with lights in them, the mirror flap can get loose with age and not press down firmly on the switch to disengage the lights. I had a parasitic draw as well and that was the case for mine.
