Question
I drove the car to the store it ran fine. When I got in it to leave all the lighs came on the ignition bell rung but the car would not crank I got a jump I replaced the battery but still nothing it won't turn over or anything

Answer
Hello,

This is most likely a charging system problem and not a battery. In other words on a guess you replaced the battery when that was not the problem in the first place. The engine and accessories will only run so long on just battery power. The alternator serves as a continuing charge to the battery.
