Question about 1999 Buick Century

Jumped the battery after car sat for awhile then

Jumped the battery after car sat for awhile a couple weeks. on the way home it t ran hot, when I tried to start it again, the lights went crazy and won't start. I tried it again the other day and I could open the trunk with automation key unlock and I hear a faint beep for "keys in the ignition" BUT the cat won't start at all??? My son thinks it might be sensors? Can you help?
Thanks

Seems that your car ran hot due to low coolant. Try refiling with coolant.

If you dont use the car it still use the battery so sounds like you need do slow trikle charge on the battrie. If that dosent work you might killed the battrie off. i dont this many time if not use it die fast.

Seems to be having problems with the alternator. Alternator itself can be bad, but also the voltage regulator, which sits inside the PCM (powertrain control module).
Don´t continue using with battery voltage around the 10V, because it will ruin your battery as well. Completely charge the battery with an external battery charger and let the alternator be checked out first.

3 days ago, i went to work no problem,had to move it after 6-7 hrs of time, would not turn on 2 try's, started like normal on 3rd. 2 days ago i drove it locally a couple of times, no problems. today...

I ran into the problem and it was corrosion on the battery terminals. on the inside against the battery. also check the the terminals for good connection.

Vehicle was parked and not started for 2 months.

Hi, there will be diodes in the generator that are letting the power from the battery drain away through the parked times when not in use. to prove it charge the battery- then disconnect the negative terminal on the battery, connect 24 hours later and see if the battery as kept it charge, if so - fit new alternator, good luck.

Car will not start, no clicking at all. about a

Start with the basics. Does the battery have a good charge, are the connections clean and tight? Perhaps the "crazy lights" (probably a computer glitch) created a current draw that ran down your battery. I hope this helps lead you to the difficulty.

Probably the battery. Take it the chain auto parts place and they will test it for you.
