what do you need help with?

Hello. My question was the start of this thread. My 2016 cadillac [srx](/topics-srx/) will not start. This morning the horn alarm went off multiple times. I got inside and cranked it. It read theft attempted. The back lights in the hatch were on. I drove a few miles then parked. I could not open the hatch. I went to crank it later thst day and nothing. The alarm would go off. The dash would not light up then it would telling me I need service on multiple things. The [engine](/topics-engine-cadillac/) would not turn over. No clicking sound. I had it jumped. Nothing. Played with the key fob and the key following instructions on the net. With the fob my windows rolled down and can't get them up. It's raining of course. The battery has juice and is fairly new. Any insight?
