No problem, and your going to want to take a jumper from the B terminal(not hard to find, just follow the cable to the battery, and jump it to the S terminal. That should make it click and attempt to start. If you jump it and hear no click, try from the B terminal to the other terminal (not the S) and see if it works, you wont hear a click with this one, just the starter trying to crank. Be careful, because it will most likely spark, and if your not ready for it, itll scare ya a little bit. If nothing happens, then its probably battery/terminal connections.

ok so its not a battery issue its an electrical issue. I had the jumper cables on and hooked up to another car, and i still didnt have anything. If i let it charge for awhile, i would get enough to turn it over once. And then i would lose all power. So its not the battery. If it was the batter my headlights etc would work while i was jumping it.

Next step, its more then likely the wiring under the steering column, something is causing a short and draining the battery out completely. Sooooo i guess a mechanics in order and towing. This stuff is starting to get really fugging annoying. If its not one thing its another. I think im just gonna sell it and buy something more reliable.
