    It is, but I don't have the power to move it. At this point in time, I only consume small children.

      Yea I thought I put it in the General Technical forum, but I guess not.

        It seems as though they might be weak connection. Clean the battery posts and the wire terminals. Either use the specific tool, or use sand paper.

          Well I got it home and took the Voltage Regulator out and the brushes seem pretty worn. All of the battery connections are pretty good and there isn't any corrosion.

          Thanks for all of the help

                Now like an hour later I go to start the car and it's completely dead. Turn the key and nothing happens, no crank, no dash lights.

                Any ideas on what it could be?
                Either battery terminal could be corroded a bit and not making contact. Remove them both and clean the posts and cables. If you are still having problems, check the main power relays by switching with another similar relay.
