Help Car won't start
Basically the car sits in the garage, today I tried starting it but it will not crank, the last time I started the car was about a week ago. The battery is about 6 months old, the car is supercharged with a vortech kit thats been on the car for about 1200 miles (yes 1200 miles in 6 months). I took out the battery to replace it tomorrow, but is there anything else I should check just in case it's not the battery.
I tried jumping the car with my ford f150 truck without luck, the lights on the interior are really dim but got a little better as I began to jump it. Is there a fuse I should look for and where might it be. I check the fuse box under the steering wheel and next to the battery in the engine bay.
I did a search.

How would the fuse panels come in to play with the car not starting?
When you replace the battery also look in to doing something like this:

I only drive my car about 4-5,000 miles a year so it sits a lot. I installed a quick connect plug to a trickle charger that always keeps the battery topped off. If you are going to "store" a car it should either have the battery disconnected or the battery should be connected to a trickle charger.
The unit I installed has failed already and I replaced it with a slighty more expensive unit, but it does the same thing.
