If battery is not holding or getting a charge check this out. jump start car, read voltage at battery posts. if it is charging it will read from 14.2-14.7, if its charging ok and still not enough power to turn it over. then you have a bad battery. check belt to alternator first for tightness. good-day! if battery is charging at battery car off , there should be at least 12.6 volts all accessories off. make sure battery post clamps are clean and tight. what i do is put a bit of grease on the battery clamps to hinder the corrosion build up from acid ,on the posts.

Battery is dead.

Jumpstart the car to get it cranked. While the car is running, check the voltage at the alternator with a multimeter. If the voltage is 12V or lower then your alternator is bad. If the voltage is 13V-14.5V then your alternator is good and your battery is bad.

if yes, do this procedure and your car will be drivable.
switch ignition ON then OFF 10 times writhing10 seconds ( in total)
then switch ignition ON and leave it for 1 minute then you start the engine.
if you did not replace the battery yet, better you change it first

Check battery cables are correct ! Prime suspect here ! Alternator may be damaged and shorting .. Don't drive any car that will melt jumper cables ! Something very basic wrong here.

1994 BMW 740i I haven't started in months. battery dead. I can open the trunk but not the doors to jump. Any suggestions?

raise and support the car. slide under and hook up a jumper cable to the POsitive on the starter. hook the other end to a good battery or charger. hook up a negative cable to chassis ground and to the battery/cable. Now you have power to the entire car.

2001 dodge grand caravan ex 3.8 does not turn over

Try checking relays in the fuse box under the hood. If all checks out ok, check timing belt/chain.
