Last night i pulled up to my favorite fast food restuarant (The always delicious Taco Bell) in the pouring rain. I had the AC ON, radio, and wipers on and all the sudden the car blinks. Im like hrmm wtf thats wierd. So while leaving their i get this bright idea to turn the car off and on at a light. Next thing i know i cant get this thing to start! Then i thought to my self this sucks. While i had the hazards on the lights looked like they were blinking twice as fast as normal. All the sudden my hazards and everything dies, like the batteries dead. I jump the car and it works fine, i get back to my girls i shut the car off. While leaving my her house i found out i did need a jump. I drove home today and i hooked a voltemeter onto the battery to discover its charged at 12 volts. What gives?! I have to jump it to start it? It sounds like a battery problem.. Wierd, THanks guys
