The battery terminal got unwiggled?
-----Original Message-----
Yeah, I know, Frank, it's a rice burner. But it's my wife's
car and I gotta fix it.
Newish battery (maybe a year?), cables look good.
Belt tight and turning the alternator just fine.
She called today. Engine dead. No starter. No bells,
whistles, or other noises. Radio screen blank. No power.
I wiggled a battery terminal, and the open-door chime started
and the radio display lit up (but no memory). I tried the key.
CLICK! No start.
Jumped it and drove home great -- alternator must be working.
Home, slapped a volt meter on and it's just over 13 VDC. Alternator
must be working.
Turned it off, and it restarted just great. Seems Fine Now.
Wotsa Problem??
