Ditto - or Battery warehouse. Take your battery # and ratings and search it. Usually save 30%-40% for the same or stronger battery.

Your procedure may be different. Don't know about the left right signal thing. Do you have an owners manual or a shop manual?
Run switch is on - Good battery in your FOB if you have one - Ground - Main Fuse - Good Clean battery connections - Loose wires first things to check
