thanks for the response. I tried an entirely different battery with the same result. and jumping from the posts the original battery. i am gonna take it to autozone to have them charge it just to make 3 attempts at this trouble shoot |
So has the car started again or are you towing it to autozone?
It might be cheaper to buy a trickle charger or a battery powered jump starter.
Seems a bit odd that it would die while driving.
How old is the battery? And do you drive the car regularly and more than say 15 miles each time?
Since there's power to the car I don't think it could be that the battery cables have loosened. Maybe the alternator has kicked the bucket?
