Honda Car Forum

Today is a cold day in Houston TX. I went to get a Budweiser 24Oz, to the nearest Shell station which is a block away. I got out and try to start my car and found out its totally dead. I also noticed that my dashboard lights are really dim. I tried a jump start and this time my dash board lights are bright. But still my car does not start. When I disconnect from Jump start.. lights are again dimmed. I just towed my car home, and its 11.30 pm now.It seemed really odd to me how a car could go bad just like that. Need some help in figuring out what could it be, before going to Auto Zone first thing tomorrow.

battery cold can help a dying battery die faster

The Battery's gone. Long hot Summers- GET them EVERY time...

yeah, it gets reeeeeal cold in south texas. downright frigid. a more relavant question you should be asking is "why do i need to drive ONE block for a beer?

Alternator! If it was the battery it would have started with a jump. the alternator is what charges the battery. i had this problem on my honda civic. good luck. O and the cold can make allot of things go out on a car. My starter just went out for the second time in a year and half.

BATTERY BAD , IF YOUR BATTERY IS OLDER THAN 4 YEARS OLD GET A NEW ONE, YOU WILL THANK ME LATER.
