last night i went to start up my car, i turned the key (gauge lights come on), i try to start her and everything went dead.
gauge lights went out, no starter, nothing. tried the blinkers, horn etc. nada. so i think the battery might be dead, take a voltmeter to the posts, ~13V. hmmmm ... now what? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Andy |

I had something like that happen to an old jeep I owned . Take the battery out of the car, place a 2x4 on the ground and turn the battery on it's top and slightly drop it on the 2x4 . This will break loose any lead which may have dropped to the bottom of the battery and shorted a cell or two out . Again this happed to me and it worked. An old autoshop teacher told me this trick.
Good Luck, jbart |
