Turn on the headlamps, press the horn does the horn sound normal? Are the lights sharp? If no check batt contacts, if contacts ok get another battery and a jump cable and start your vehicle.

If it works you might possibly need a new battery

U left ur car unused for abt one week dts enough time for ur battery to run down if it is weak.

Anyway check d battery is tightly connected, is it dry cell or wet cell battery.

Leaving a car with battery connected for quite a while will drain its battery. Vehicle ECUs, tracking device, in-built security system and immobilizer, clock, etc they help drain battery.

There are no gadgets to turn off apart from headlights and inner lights. Just make sure ur doors and booth are closed. Unless maybe u are using aftermarket stereo and it is not connected to the ignition, then u make sure u turn it off.

Should leaving gadgets on in a car pose serious issues, if I leave my headlights on and switch off the car, it goes off, if the door is opened and the inner lights left at DOOR, after 10mins, the car automatically switches off the inner lights and will only come on again if you open or close the doors.

I always leave the radio on and use a digital clock, once you remove the car key, all gadgets are automatically switched off its only the horn that can drain the battery, that's if you have time to hold it in place.
