That pretty much sums it up. The key is to ignition but the car won't start.

Battery is a little over two years old. Thoughts?

I think the battery is cooked.

Battery is prolly toast. If there's an Interstate Battery somewhere locally where you live i highly reccomend the Megatron Plus. Not to be confused with the plain megatron go with the plus. Best battery ive ever owned for the 7.
