What are the steps to isolate the problem. All batteries check out.

Hi Dale, Welcome to the group.
There are some real smart guys here that most likely can help you with some diagnostics, but psychic these people are not.
It would help _immensely_ if you start off describing
1. what you have for a car?
2. what batteries you have?
3. how old are the batteries?
4. how long have you owned the car?
5. when did it last work?
6. was anything done recently that killed it?
7. what you have tried to fix it?
8. and a little more detail on what it means when you say the batteries “check out”.
Also, note the magnifying glass(search tool) in the upper right of your page. There is an archive that contains more than a decade of answers that go FAR beyond the manual. I actually spend way more time in there poking around and learning about my car. There is a good chance that someone has had the same problem as you.

If it’s a GEM, posting to the GEM forum would be helpful since users can filter what new posts they wish to see.
