    Ac/Radio

    After not driving it for 2 weeks because of my fuel pump (still haven’t fixed it) I went to crank it up to check the battery and it would click so I proceed to turn the A/C on and the radio shut off could this bee that the battery is dying?

    Good chance. Have you checked the battery voltage? Got a charger?
    How did you expect the AC to work when the engine won't start?

    Welcome to the forum.

    Well in second position everything works lol but it was when I turned the A/C (and it works and blows)up the music stopped playing as if a lot of voltage was being consumed no I haven’t tried to jump it

    Voltage isn't consumed; current is.

    JimLev asked if you checked the battery voltage. You haven't answered.

    Your battery is dead. Charge it for 24 hrs at 6-10 A.

    Unless it's a new, or fully charged battery, the car will discharge it in 2 wks.
