    Went to start this morning, very low voltage. Not enough to start. Headlights and accessory light very dim. Car doors lock and unlock, but trunk will not open. I do hear a high pitched noise coming from the area near the fuse box. Sounds like a pump running. Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Well first thing that has to be done is to get the 12 volt charged up The car just doesn't start You mean it won't ready or do much of anything because of the low voltage noticeable when you open the door see the lights come on etc You have to fix that before anything else happens whether it's time for a new 12 volt or yours can go on the charger and be fun I don't know can't see it from here
