Well just a short blog post about my current situation because I'm bored out of my mind. Just got off school and my sister calls "where are you right now, the car won't start". I ask if she held the ignition down for a couple seconds already to try and start the car because it is somewhat old and doesn't start first try all the time. About 10s later she says the car is no longer even showing dashboard lights, and she can't close the windows any more. Well since she apparently had tried to start the car and failed far more times than i expected, I'm now stuck with the task of teaching her to pop the hood and wait for help while on the phone.

Apparently she just had a mental breakdown after seeing the car lose all signs of life and now I'm stuck consoling her while help arrives(called by yours truly because it's hard to make calls through a fountain of tears). 5 minutes away from home, yet I can't go because I'm a good big brother .

Side notes:apparently a lot of people have better stuff to do than help stranded motorist with hood popped. Been sitting here for about 30 minutes now without a single person coming to ask if we needed help. This is on a fairly busy street too. At least I managed to find somebody to come help. Probably another 15 minutes of sitting here and I'll be free to leave.

Update: Apparently battery/ignition system is all but dead at this point, ended up just using the jump to close the windows so we could lock it and go home. She did leave it in a residential park zone so no worries on that front. Probably will end up having to get it towed to a shop if alternative measures fail tomorrow.

Sounds like what happened when my alternator gave up the ghost. Good on you for the brother thing.

car wont start, no dashboard lights sounds like battery might be dead but if jumping it doesn't start the car maybe it needs a new starter? if its battery though, sometimes if you leave it alone for a while and try starting again it works.
also good on you to help your sibling out! the smallest shit can really break a person down at times and I'm sure your sister is glad you were there for her.

I have an 18 year old car and have had to do the lot. Alternator, just did the Distributor this week, ignition switch last year. Probably 500 or so in a shop to get it back on the road including labor.
