RX8 not giving energy. HELP, please.
Hello, so I was working on my wheels; I used a jack-stand to bring the car up, and it fell (but honestly very little), so I had to put the jack again. However, I noticed that my radio started to get disconnected little by little, however when I would change the key from ignition to just accessories the radio would sound again. I put the car down and went to eat.
When I got back, I tried turning the car on and received no cranking noise, no feel of power, or anything. Lights and everything worked, but they started to lose power as I kept trying to crank it.
Please help me, I have checked the cables and everything seems okay. Where should I check?
This is what happens when I try turning it on: Levels go up and down, blue-lights flash on & off, no energy whatsoever or noise, windows go down very slow (when I press them to go down), the security-locks do not work, and the lights on the door-panels and on top of the passenger seat seem more yellowish than usual. Please, anybody?

By the way, when I get on the car, the door-panel lights stay on with a yellowish color. Is it the battery?

Your battery terminals are most likely very loose.
You say you "checked all the cables" - how did you do that?
Grab each terminal on the battery post, and give it a good twist. If either clamp turns, even a little, that's a bad connection.
....and you can't just tighten it up, you need to take it off and clean both the clamping surface AND the post sides.
TL:DR It's ALWAYS the battery terminals.
