So I drove my car a mile down the road to a friends house to pick up something, and left my car idling. Maybe at most 10 min later, I went back to the car, and put it into reverse (auto) and it stalled. The dash lights went dim, and when I tried to start it, there was a clicking noise with no response from the starter. <p>
I shut it off, and jumped it from my friends truck, started fine, and I then deove it around at high rpm's for a few minutes , brought her home, and shut her off. <p>
....(back in time) About a week and a half ago, I went out to the car and there was absolutly nothing. No light at all. No response AT ALL when I turned the key. I was pretty sure I had not left anything on, and doors were shut. I am not sure what caused the drain. <p>I hooked up a small charger to the battery for over 24 hours, until it was fully charged. The car seemed back to normal. While I was at work I had a friend tested the voltage two days straight, and was told everything was normal. It sat a few days, and still started fine, and ran good as well. <p> I am not sure if he checked the voltage corectly or not, but it seems to me to be an alternator problum, or the voltage regulator. I will have to wait a couple days before I can test it myself. Any input is appreciated as always....
