car won't start after five days - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I had my car parked for five days as I went on a small trip. I get back home and try to start up the car and nothing happens. None of the warning lights come on nor does my radio. Interior lights, and exterior lights work fine. I don't get a spark or crank...I get nothing when I turn the key. I tried jumping it...but that didn't help. I can't push start it because its parked on a side of a road, downhill and fairly close to someones car.

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

TIA

A dead battery. Did you let the car jumping you sit there and high idle for a minute before you tried to start your car?

0_o If you mean giving the other car some gas...yes I did that. But thanks for the reply.

Actually since its dark outside...I didn't think once to look at the fuses...but I found a flashlight (barely working) and discovered the fuseable link to the ignition has blown. That can explain the case for the warning lights not work and also the accessories (i.e. radio). Usually when I have a dead battery atleast the warning lights come on and the interior lights would go dim....but this wasn't the case this time.
