Drat. Car Won't Start

Battery. Same thing happened to me two weeks ago. Get a jump and drive to Advanced Auto Parts. They'll test the battery for you and tell you the scoop, then they'll even help you put the new one in.

That's the plan.

I have power, but it's low. Lights dim, windows slow, etc.

1. look at your terminals and see if there is corrosion on either one. If there is remove battery cables, prolly with a #10 metric and clean them.

2. Jump it off if that doesn't work. your alternator, if it's working, will keep it going once it starts forever. If it dies on you going down the road then you know your alternator isn't working because it just failed to power the fuel pump.

3. So at the end of the day your battery is completely dead but you should be able to ascertain the age of it to help you with this, if it's a 'young' battery then you've prolly got alternator issues in which case don't throw the batter away get the alternator rebuilt.

there is another reason for this, which hopefully is not your case, and that is that there is a short somewhere in the car which is draining the battery. If the short is in the alternator then when the car hasn't been run for several hours feel the alternator and if it's hot then it's there, otherwise it's a wild goose chase trying to find the short but the right person can find it pretty quick. Sorry to get too verbose but this runs you throughthe whole gamut of what it could be and bumps up the combined intellectual wealth of the huddle.

alternator

Well the battery definately is delivering a weak power source to the starter. Could be a bad battery, bad connection at the battery or at the starter or main vehicle ground source. Could be a battery draw when the car is shut off, such as trunk light, or bad relay etc.

Alternator not charging generally will throw a dash warning light while you're driving.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
