Good day. My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will be assisting you with your question today. Just to ensure I can provide you the most accurate answer, Would you be able to provide me further details on the issues you are experiencing? If your battery is testing @ 11v, It will require a recharge. Your battery with no load should be testing @ 12.4v and about 14.3v while running.

Do you know the approx age of the battery? If its only charging to 11v the battery is discharged and will require a charge or is beyond its typical lifespan. Usually, Under normal operating conditions. Batteries usually last about 5 years. Do you have access to a 12v battery charger? The other issues you are experiencing can be a result of a low voltage condition but you will need to confirm the battery before proceeding to eliminate that variable.

Sorry, I may have misunderstood. In the description, You advised that the battery was only showing a voltage of 11v. Is this on the repalcement battery?

No that was the old battery. I put a new battery in and it sill won't start and the anti theft and check engine light are still on

Can you confirm the voltage reading of the new battery? Confirm this as well as I have seen batteries off the shelf that are discharged. Normally they are tested before sale but not always.

Check the positive and negitive connections are clean and attached solid to the posts. Use a wire brush to clean the connections. Re-attach and attempt to start. There may be a thin film of corrosion on the terminals perventing contact. Even if they look clean to the eye.
