    Car won't start sometimes! need help please!



    if you can help me, please read this. sorry it's a little long....

    I'm having this problem sometimes also. Here's the story - I used to have a bad battery problem and my car wouldn't start if it sat for more than a few hours - a day. Got that battery tested, came up a bad battery. New battery - no problems for a couple months. Then the other day the weirdest thing happened....I went and got in my car and turned my key to the on position and kinda noticed in the back of my head the foglight indicator light was on, but my lights weren't on. I didn't notice if my foglights were actually on or not. So anyway, I turned my key to start my car and BAM all my interior lights lit up really bright and everything and turned off - car won't start. Jumped it, car ran fine for a couple weeks. All of teh sudden today, it barely started and I pulled it around the block to work on it. Now, I'm done working and I go to start my car and it barely cranks for a little bit, and then after a few tries, no more cranking, just that click noise. But during this time, my headlights and stereo and interior lights worked, fully illuminated. I did notice that my gauge cluster lights dimmed a little bit when I went from parking lights - headlights. So, what do you think the problem could be?

    thanks guys!

    I just went to jump it and it started right up. I did notice that the interior lights got a little brighter when it was hooked up to the other car. Maybe that should happen though? I don't know. Any feedback is appreciated.

      could be a bad alternator, or a bad ground. check the ground and have your alt tested, it's free.
