I leave the car in the garage for weeks on end before driving it with the alarm off. Every now and then, I need to jump start it to get it going. Today, I jump started and it took a while for the engine to turn. When it did, it didn't hold the charge, even after blipping the throttle for about a minute.
The lights are dim in the cockpit, so these symptoms point to a bad alternator. However, the car only has 6,000 miles. Does this make sense with the alternator, or could it be a battery problem?
Thanks:
