Default new problem not starting not cranking no lights just a beep

after repair almost everything in my car: fuel pump, alternator, transmission relay (causes limp home mode), fuel pump relay, etc etc. i found that this morning when i went to put the key the car did not start.
symptoms:
1-when key is inserted in the door the central locking system is not working
2- just a beep, no lights on the dashboard, no nothing.
3- looks like NO battery at all, will check and post the results.

Martin

I think you may need a new battery . Just buy a new one even if starts quickly without any problem during jump start
