My 2006 Ford Ranger won't start even after jumping it, what's the problem?

It is dead.

There could be a short in your battery
No water in the battery
Bad connections
Bad jumper cables

There two problems that come to mind. One is it won't start. The other is there isn't anything in the question to tell if it even cranks over. What do you expect from a one line question.

  • Ford Ranger 4.0, 172,000 miles rough idle when starting after sitting overnight or after 2-3 hours. Starts 1st crank, idles rough 1 minute? Or so and then smooths out and runs fine. New heads and gaskets. Cleaned MAF sensor, throttle body and air intake sensor, new IAC valve, new air and fuel filters, new PCV valve. No smoke coming from exhaust and No check engine light. Any ideas what's causing this rough idle?
  • 2006 Ford Ranger, lack of power and rough idling, what could be the problem? I have a 2006 Ford Ranger manual 4 x 4 sport, with 160,000 km (100,000 miles) that I bought back in August. It ran well until today. On my way to work, I drove a few blocks when I noticed when I accelerated there was little power, and it was idling rough. I drove it back home and noticed there was this black soot coming out of the exhaust. I can't have it seen until the 2nd, so I'm just looking for any insight on what the problem can be.
  • 2003 Ford Ranger Won't Start after Fuel Pump install? About 2 weeks ago, I replaced the fuel filter and all 6 spark plugs to do some regular maintenance and upkeep. 3 days ago, hard to start. Had to turn key a couple times to prime- then would fire right up. Replaced fuel pump yesterday, now I have no start at all. It just cranks, and barely starts to turn over, only to bog out. When it starts to bog out, i tap the gas to try and get my RPMS up, but I have no throttle response at all.
  • My car keeps jumping around at stop light? The idle keeps goin up and down kind like if you were to hit the rev limiter but it is doing it at stop lights at all rpms and the lights on the dash dim it is not consent it is speratic ford torus 1997 also it seams like sum thing is draning the battery over a weeks time
