Its been giving me signs lately that its on its last legs.


-Vaccuming the car from the power plug port while the car is off drains the battery within 3minutes.

- The car cut off at mc doanalds drive through while idling in line with the A/C on. So , i started it back up and it died again only when we turned the A/C on. And this all happened with acouple females in the car so its was embrassing. *sp* SO, we sweat like pigs for a bit.

-Playing the cars (stock) CD player with the car off for atleast 10 minutes drains the battery to nothing.


Today:

Now letting down the top while the door is open with the dome light on while the car off drains it to nothing. (now this took less than a minute)

When i turn the car ontop the ON postion the battery meter only goes to Normal so that def. is a problem im guessing.


It took about 30 minutes to jump it from my garage.

Now it doesnt even start up unless its being jumped. So, i know its the battery :'( Pay Day is 2morrow so im good to go.
Fucking hell now i have to call off work 2morrow because theres noway i can get a battery since i work @ 6am and my paycheck doesnt come to way way later. I need a new job b/c i usually have money stored away for things like this.. just that stopped happened when i was transfered to a new job because of moving.

have you checked the leads on the battery cables? mine were corroded to hell and it died at a stop light.. i cleaned them off and it worked but they would get corroded in like 1 day.. so i bought new ones that are corrosion resistant. :)
