Maxima won't start.

Hey guys, so my 96 Maxima wont start.

Its been off for a few weeks because we haven't used it since the lockdown happened. I went to start it up and I get nothing, no clicks, no cranks, nothing. I put the jump starter on it and all of a sudden all the lights come on, the fans come on but when I try to start it I still get nothing. Also, the headlights are flashing, and one of the relays is clicking.

What gives?

This is always a low battery issue but check the battery volts and check the pnp switch if your auto that will also lock you out from starting the car up. The park lever not in p or n it wont start.

The flashing headlights sounds like the factory alarm is going off. The clicking could be the alarm relay. But when the alarm goes off, the horn should be honking too.
