It would be worth testing the alternator too. Then you know the battery is getting charged. If you jump start it be sure and connect the Neg cable to a ground point on your engine block and not your battery Neg post....else you can fry alternator components ! ...... although thats the standard procedure for jumpstarts on any car to avoid spark- KABOOM at battery...

well if your battery is completely dead, jumping wont work sometimes. swap out batteries, or charge it up and see if anything happens.

make sure u check the 80w battery fuse under the hood its a big black fuse wit a clear top. If its blown try conecting the 2 screws underneath it with some speaker wire. If it works make sure u dont leave the wire trust me
