CHARGE THE BATTERY!
The first and most obvious sign of low battery voltage is pretty much ANY electrical gremlin. If your battery doesn't provide at least 12.6 volts after sitting for many hours, you need to remedy the situation.
First charge the battery using an actual Battery Charger, NOT a CTEK. 10 amp minimum, at least for 12 hours. I'd go 24 myself. It's best to disconnect the battery cables while doing the charge, but if not able to do so, clamp the negative charger cable to the body ground spot in the boot, under the deck cover to the right of the spare.
You don't say what vehicle you have, so I don't know if you have the Battery Monitor hardware which the 2010+ cars have. That's the reason for the ground post.
