[QUOTE="CanaryGT, post: 418529, member: 8403"] So I went to work and everything was fine. Drove fine and everything... She kinda had some trouble starting this morning but we hit a small cold front so I thought it was normal. Anyway, I got off work and I went to unlock my car with my remote. Nothing happened. I then manually entered the vehicle and the first thing that caught my eye was that the dome light was not lit. So i preceded to put the key into the ignition and went to turn her over.... Nothing. Not even anything at all. So I checked my connections on the battery, the ground and the power to the fuse box. All was good. Then I decided to see if she had any spark. Now i know this isnt the best way to test it, but it was all I had. So I used a ratchet to touch the neg and possitive on the battery and nothing happend. No spark or anything.... Could this be just a bad battery or can there just be a short somewhere? The Battery is a Optima Red Top that has At least 3 years on it... Dont know since I have owned it for 3 years and It came with the battery. [/QUOTE]
