Seems like your battery is dead. Buy a new one.

It depends....

Do you drive only short trips and the battery never gets charged properly? If there's a power leak somewhere? Or maybe it is a faulty IBS?

Batteries have a small window on the top. If it's green, the battery is good. If it's black, it needs a charge and if it's red or yellow it's bad. I charged mine and worked like a charm. Just needed a charge. Hope this helps
