Hello Phills. Nice to hear from you today! I'm sorry to hear you are having this problem. I know this can be frustrating.
Was anything done to your vehicle recently that may have caused this issue?

No not the moment I'm back over to where the car is soon. I disconnected the battery last night, IL reconnect it wen I get back to it. Hopefully it's fixed itself over night laughs.

Thank you for letting me know!Hold on for one minute as I type out some information for you. I’ll post back here shortly!Thank you for holding!The issue that you have described can be caused by an internal fault with the vehicle battery itself to where it isn’t sending enough voltage to allow the engine to start and run. This issue can also be caused by a faulty brake switch or a faulty starter.I recommend obtaining a jump start to see if it starts and runs then at all. If it does then the battery needs to be tested to see if it has to be replaced. If it does not then you will need to have a compatible scan tool plugged into your vehicles data port to retrieve the fault codes so the codes can be diagnosed to pinpoint and repair this issue. A shop will usually charge around $100 to read the codes and diagnose the issue for you if needed.The cost to repair the fault all depends on what is found to be at shot needing to be repaired or replaced.
