2002 Civic problem
Hi,
Does anyone know why a relatively new car with only 12,000 miles on it (purchased new) would suddenly have a dead battery? No lights left on, temperature has been above freezing, yet it won't start without a jump. Could using a cellphone charger in the lighter socket while attempting to start cause a problem? Any ideas about the cause would be appreciated.

One year old? Should still be under manufacturers warranty. Let them figure
it out!

Best way to find out is to hook a bulb in series to the cable and battery post.

Re: 2002 Civic problem
The consensus appears to be that I should just let the dealer check it out. Thanks to all for your input. In article <BC0BB609.32DA5%e.meyerNOSPAM@ieee.org>, "E.
