[Shotimes] Serious electrical gremlins this morning

[Dave Kegel]

I'd get the battery tested.  They can go bad for any number of reasons.  You
could have a bad cell, which causes odd things to happen.

Ok, I cleaned the cables and terminals, got a jump, and everything seemed
fine for about 5 minutes, then the same symptoms.  The battery's about 2
years old - don't batteries usually die in cold weather?  I'd suspect the
alternator first, since it's the original one with 155,000 miles.  Whaddya
think--I suspect the battery's good since it held the brief charge it got
from the jump for about 5 minutes of driving.
