Batteries are just electrical storage devices. They only store what is generated elsewhere, in the case of your vehicle, the electricity is generated in the alternator. If you alternator has failed your battery will not be able to store anything. If the alternator is working but an electric component, such as a light, is left on it can use up all of the stored electricity and there will be nothing left with which to start the engine. Never replace a battery without first verifying that the alternator is working. There might be nothing wrong with the old battery and you'll have to get an alternator later anyway.
The battery is located under the hood on a 2000 Chevrolet Lumina. The battery will be on the drivers side.
Had the same problem. Bought a re-conditioned alternator, turned out it was bad. Usually if battery draining, it's alternator or battery or both.
have the alternator and the battery checked
There is no battery reset.
Can you unhook the battery for a few minutes and reset the system?
Yes
Yes, you can jump start the battery on a 1998 Chevy Lumina. To do so, connect the positive (+) terminal of the dead battery to the positive terminal of the working battery, then connect the negative (-) terminal of the working battery to a grounded metal surface on the Lumina. Make sure to follow safety precautions and ensure the vehicles are off before connecting the cables. Once connected, start the working vehicle and then attempt to start the Lumina.
Replace the thermostat.
follow the battery + cable from the battery down to the starter post. There you will find a starter.
there is a short some where in the electrical system... or a bad battery.
It was missing when I bought my Lumina and I just got one at the boneyard and popped it on as easily as I popped it off the donor car.
