I have a car that will not start with the battery, but will jump start.
The battery in the car is fine, brand new and tested perfect. I even
took the battery from the car that did the jump starting to test it and
nothing.
The lights and other electronics come on, but there is no reaction to
the key at all unless it is being jumped.
Once the cables are hooked up, it starts with no hesitation at all.
Assuming you're using the recommendedjumper cabling from + to + and - to chassis
ground: try running a cable from the problem battery to chassis ground.
