Okay, I'm going to be the bad guy: Voltage reading at the battery posts is important to us. A reading with the car disconnected from the battery and a reading with the car connected to the battery. Also, connect negative first, then connect positive slowly. Does it spark when you connect it?

Yeah,
I tried to put a post on this morning, but apparently it didn't go through. It was a dead cell in the battery. That'* why it wouldn't show any power with the full charger connected either. As I tried to say this morning, My Bad, not having a meter to show how low the battery was and the battery being 1 year old, I thought it wasn't the battery. But, it was. Everything is good now. Thanks

And this is the reason when we ASK people what a voltage/pressure/ etc looks like, we don't take the answer 'its fine' very well and more times than not, these are the final responses we get from members.

Yes, I understand. As I said, "My Bad"
I didnt have any meter, just a light. I ordered a voltage meter for future use.
Thanks for your help.
