uhh, pretty sure it's a battery prob
can't blame it on the car
and if you did LONG shopping you could have left a light on :\
no i got neons and bass, and the guy said it aint the right battrey for the car. ill keep it for my bass an neons and buy a new one for the car,

are they all the same? any of them magically give you extra 20bhp LOL i'd buy that for a dollor. >smile.gif>

sounds like a bad battery , you may want to check your alternator as well

yea, check Alternator for sure, on the drive the batter should have charged from having to start, and everything should run fine on a normal battery

depending on how much power you have going to those subs or whatnot, you either need a cap, or a separate power for it
check the alternator, and get an optima red top, or yellow top battery. >wink.gif>. i wouldn't consider a dead battery as "breaking down". hope it's nothin too expensive.

Look on the bright side... atleast it started... I went on vacation for like 35 days and I got home and mine didn't start either..... battery is startin to peter out. How much are the optima red and yellow batteries and what's the best one?
