Most garages and Sears will check your battery. Make sure you have an oil weight for your climate.

information Flash! No vehicle with a starter that handed a starter amp draw try, spins the crankshaft slowly even as the engine has the production facility counseled oil viscosity in it. bypass to any automobile factors save that sells new batteries and ask for a free *battery load try which will locate the reserve amperage ability. Amps spins starter automobiles no longer volts. A battery would try 12.6 volts yet no longer have any reserve amperage ability. once you've a volt meter, set the middle knob @ 20 volts. contact the red deliver about the constructive battery terminal and black deliver about the adverse terminal. Ask some different person to commence the motor vehicle. *If the battery voltage drops to 0, your completely fantastic battery desires to get replaced!

I dont think its your battery at all......I was looking at my car the other day, and the maintenance guy saw me looking at it, as I was putting water in the reserve dept., and he told me, that its so cold that people's car radiator water is freezing, and so are our apartments main water lines....... so, its the freezing temperatures out in alot of states, and all over the world actually thats causing these strange things to happen....... Just add your radiator water into your reserve area, so that it has some wet loose water in there to defrost the frozen water, is what he suggested to me....... Good luck, to you!! I also thought it was the battery on my car, as well..... Its warming up here in Arizona now, so I'm not having that problem anymore.... Hopefully you wont either.. Smile!!!!
