To further troubleshoot-

There are two ports or posts that stick up from your battery, the negatively charged post and the positively charged post. There are cables that attach to each of these posts that run from your battery to your starter.

Sometimes the screws or bolts that connect the ports to the cables can become loose and the connection breaks. When this happens your car won't start at all. It will be completely dead because no power will be going from your battery to your starter.

So if you're trying to start your car and absolutely nothing is happening, check your connections. This problem can also be indicative of solenoid problems.

I'm not an idiot when it comes to cars or electricity, I just thought that if the battery was dead but the car remains running after a jump and most electrical systems are working, then the alternator would be ok.

So the window auto-up might just be a setting, and the lift-gate I will just call a fluke because it seems to have only not opened once. My only question now is why is the AC not blowing cold, as if the condenser fan isn't blowing (I haven't had access to verify if this is the case)?
