My wife went to start her car today.. she only drives it to/from work..
monday through friday, so it gets the weekend off..
annnyways, she goes to start it today.. NOTHING.. no (starter) click, no
lights, nothin...
So, we took my car to Wal-Mart to get a set of jumper cables (shame on me
for never having them before) and tried to jump off of mine.. It would
crank (sounded like a "weak" crank.. which i dunno if that's normal or
not w/ a jump start) but would not start.
So, I'm clueless.. My only ideas are:
* Battery is completely dead? Seems like it'd start when jumped if that
was the case
* Alternator is bad (which would explain not being able to start, but can
crank when jumped)
Other than that I really have no clue what it could be. Any fuses I
should look out for?
BTW, it's a 91 Civic LX with 160k miles on it.. We planned on retiring
the poor thing in December when our first child is born. Wife figures
she'll be home with the kid and can go do what she needs when I'm home
and not using the car.
