Lately my car has been going dead. It will work fine, then I'll come back and it will be dead. I get a jump and it starts fine.
I was thinking electrical leak, until today.
I got stuck in a mall, right in front of an auto parts store. So, I thought I would replace the battery. The battery is wedged in really good (1991 Grand Prix) and while I was yanking it, I noticed the hood like came on, nice and bright! And the car started.
So now I wonder, is it:
(a) Loose wire
(b) Did jiggling battery stir the electrolyte -- i.e., do I still need a new battery? When it came back, it was fully charged...not low or anything.
