I must have left one of my gadgets on and the battery was completely drained after two weeks. The AAA guy couldn't get his truck into the parking garage, so he used a portable unit and connected it to the battery. All electrical worked, but the engine wouldn't turn over. Starter relay was clicking like crazy, or at least that's what I would have said the sound was; exactly like my '71 Maverick 25 years ago when I could actually rebuild an engine . . .. In any event, my theory is that the AAA guy's portable unit simply didn't have enough juice to turn the starter, or whatever. He said there was something else wrong with the vehicle. '02 XLT has only 17k miles and was otherwise running beautifully when I parked it a couple of weeks ago (indoors).
So could this guy be right; or am is my theory possible that his "Vector" brand portable unit just didn't have the amps?
