What a night! Got a call from my wife when I was unloading a truck at Lowes last night to say her car had just quit and wouldn't start, just a click. So, being a good husband, I called the manager and said I had to bail because my wife was stranded, made my apologies to my team and bailed.
Got to where she was and jumped the car, all good. Followed her home and when she was backing into the driveway noticed her headlights getting dimmer and the car quit again...oh well, at least we're home. I took the battery out of the car and went to Walmart to have it tested and possibly replaced because I bought it in November last year. Well, it was so low it wouldn't test. They said they'd put it on the charger over night and test it in the morning at 7. Great! Get into my truck, turned the key and nothing. Oh come on! I replaced the battery in mine last week.
The battery has good power so I think it's either the starter solenoid, which you can't replace separate from the starter, or the ignition switch.
Fortunately my neighbour is one of the best and he came and got me, brought me home, helped my get Chanin's car into the garage and drive me to my in-laws to get my MIL's car.
Went down to Walmart this morning and the battery has a bad cell, so they replaced it for free. Chucked it in the car, cranked straight away, tested the alternator and it's good, so I got out of that one cheap. Now my tame mechanic is going to come to look at the truck but I'm thinking I'm up for a new starter.
