Electrical system went crazy

[Linkstar07]

I left my car sitting for a week or two and the battery went dead. Grabbed my batt charger/starter and hooked it up. When I turned the key, the starter didnt move and the the headlights were going up and down and my wipers turned on by themselves. I have no idea whats going on. This is supposed to be my 'reliable' car... I dont see how turning my key can make those other components move like that. Any ideas?

Yes, charge the battery more. Much more. Leave it on for a FULL charge.

Check that all the wires going to both battery terminals are clean and tight. Charge the battery fully before trying to start it again.

Same thing happened to me a while ago. Things whent CRAZY. I thought i fried my engine wiring harness.

Charged for 15-20 minutes more, and everything was perfect.
