aaaaand my car is dead.

Posted by znufrii, silly old man (aka znufrii) May 13 '20, 11:15

It had been sluggish so I thought it needed a new battery. Hadn't driven it in over a week, and it wouldn't start this morning. Just tried to jump it and it'll turn over, but still won't start so I'm thinking it's the alternator or something like that.

Responses:

Our battery died - jumping it worked, though. I think you're right about the alternator. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 11:26 5
- Also discovered that only one of our two cars had jumper cables, which is less than an ideal ratio. -- (edited) - znufrii May 13, 11:30 4
  - ST Poll: last time you jump started a car. - Spawn May 13, 11:38 3
    - Sounds about right -- nm - zeitgeist May 13, 11:51
    - Last month, three times. But that was the first time ever. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 11:48
    - Last summer, not mine. -- nm - znufrii May 13, 11:41
Could just need to charge the battery. If it's really drained sometimes a jump won't start it. -- nm - sycor May 13, 11:17 1
- We’ll see when the tow gets here I guess. -- nm - znufrii May 13, 11:28
