this problem is usually more basic than suspected:56nomad56 wrote:No crank twice in the last month, thankfully I have a portable jumper for emergencies.
The thing is, the car was bought used just over a year ago (it's an '08) and just after we brought it home we couldn't get it started, so CarMax put in a new battery. So...the battery should be just over a year old. We don't have temperature extremes here in So Cal.
We did take it to Utah last summer and went through some big puddles at an amusing rate of speed, there's dried muddy water all over in the engine compartment. Could I have a short somewhere that's draining the battery?
