Not starting with new (4 months) battery.
Hi everyone! This morning my 3 2020 wouldn’t start, no lights, key-fob not even unlocking the doors. This battery is new from August 2024. When I changed it, we ran tests and concluded that there was no phantom drainage and the battery was due for a change, OEM going on 5 years. Now, some people have mentioned that my headlights turn on randomly when the car is off. Wondering if it could be the cause of all this. I always turn the lights off since I don’t have the auto mode. I do have a usb cable plugged that I don’t remove. (For apple car play) Could this be the issue? I’m annoyed cause I’m a car noob and not sure what are the next steps. I’m going to boost it with my booster pack now but what would be the right thing to do after?
