Default HELP!
I drive a 1888 Audi 80 and the idiot I am left my lights on a week or so ago. Ever since then my car has been having issues starting. It took a few tries and just yesterday I had to have it jumped because I wore the battery down. Now the car WONT turn over and start. Does anyone have any ideas on what it is. Could it be my alternator? PLEASE HELP..CHRIS

Got a voltmeter? Sounds like a dead battery?

Your battery must be dead, but check the alternator too

Take it into a Sears and have them test it on a machine. You prolly will need a new batteria!

Default get out a battery charger and charge it overnight, if the battery's good, ur good, otherwise...
