Car won’t start

[09cs]

Went to start the car today to move it for some work in the garage. Sounded it like tried to turn over but nothing. Powers on, brake pedal very stiff, light smoke from the exhaust. Drove the car yesterday and no issues. Help!!!

Oh boy..... Need more description. Was the engine turning over, but not firing?

Does it sound like a depleted battery with not enough juice to turn the engine over fast enough?

Is the smoke unburnt fuel, or moisture?

Need more info

Honestly not sure. Sounds like it tried to turn over once and then stopped. exhaust valves are cycling with the brake depressed. it says "full power accessory mode" so don't think it can be the battery

I am hoping it is moisture, it didn't smell like fuel.

I was afraid of trying to jump it since it seemed the battery was charged given it was driven yesterday, and full power accessory mode comes up.

Could it hurt it to jump it?

Do hope it's the battery, 09 and I suspect that's the most likely. The OEM batts these days are definitely nothing to write home about, at least the ones I've had fit that description.

The "drove it yesterday" though..that's kind of a wrench in the ointment unless the batt was already on its last legs which I think should be unlikely.

Didja attempt to charge it?

OK, just saw your most recent post. No electrical warning icons? I'd be hesitant to jump it before I put the batt on a charger for a few hours.

Do hope it's a simple and inexpensive solution.

I just hooked it up on a trickle charger to see if that will help

It has all the lights on, battery, CEL, and one other I can't remember in red on the bottom right corner when you try and start it and it goes into full accessory power mode

Tow truck is on the way, how do I get it into neutral if I can't start the car?

Tried getting a video of the sound, but didn't come out real well

Hopefully it's nothing major. To take the car out of park:

Thanks! Found that a minute ago in the manual as well.

The first time I went to start it, I heard what sounded like a knock almost.

And on the second time...?

Nothing, doesn't turn over, just makes a noise and a click and stops. I would have thought battery but all lights work
