Did you check to see if there is a "BOTTOM" hold down clamp located at the bottom of the battery? Some vehicles have them.

The obvious answer (without having any additional information) would be to charge the battery !
Why would a 95 Buick roadmaster not to crank?
A trick question?? the obvious #1 ans.-- a battery problem, then on to a cable from the batt. to the starter, then a bad starter ,then onto a problem inside the motor,(Like the timing chain or anything within the path of the motor's moving parts.)

Battery touched the hood on your crxWhat is wrong?
Suggestions: Some may sound obvious but its surprising how often people overlook them. 1)Did you forget about the battery "keeper"? (The metal plate that screws in on top of the battery to keep it in place.) Is it under the battery? 2)Is the battery the correct size for your vehicle? Different varients of the same model sometimes use completely different sizes / shapes of batteries. 3)Is the battery located properly? Check that it isn't sitting on top of the rim of the battery-tray. 4)Are the terminal connectors located properly? Sometimes if not secured properly the connectors can come loose and "ride up" on the terminal. 5)Double check that there is nothing between the battery and battery-tray. A stray section of the cars wiring harness, a screwdriver or spanner for example. 6)Is there anything out of place about the way the bonet sits on its hinges? Did it close properly before? Has it been damaged? If everything is in order and the battery tray hasn't been moved then you must have the wrong size battery.

How do you change a starter on a 1995 Chevy Tahoe?
1. Disconnect negative battery cable. 2. raise the vehicle and support it securely with jackstands! 3. clearly label then disconnect the three wires from the starter motor/solenoid. (Looking at the end of the starter/solenoid - one at twelve o'clock is battery terminal, at three o'clock is switch terminal (s), and at six o'clock would be motor terminal (m). 4. Remove the mounting bolts and drop the starter. 5. If you didn't buy a solenoid with your starter, you may have to mount the old one to your starter (instructions are obvious). 6. Installation of new starter is opposite of removal (as they say in the movies!) Good luck and Blessings!

How do you remove the battery from a 2007 vw beetle?
How do you remove the battery from a 2007 vw beetle? Need: 10 mm wrench or socket 6 mm hex socket and extension ratchet The battery is located to the far right as you face the engine bay. You need to remove the battery cover. It has several obvious plastic tab latches that you push to release. Remove the cover. You will see a breaker box on top of the battery. This slides out pushing away from you towards the back of the car. Remove the positive and negative battery terminals with a 10 mm socket or wrench. Bungee cord or duct tape the whole collection of breaker box and positive and negative terminal away from you, clear of the top of the battery. You will see that the battery is surrounded and partially covered by a plastic shield. The left front side releases by pushing on obvious plastic tabs to the right. The shield will seem to be stuck in the center back. There is no tab to release here, it is a friction fit (this is the secret!). Pull straight up on the shield and it will release. Voila! You just completed the hard part. Almost there! Center front at the base of the battery is a 6 mm hex bolt holding the battery in. You will need a socket extension and a hex socket to remove this. Once this is removed, slide the battery to the left and tip it up and out.
