| Description of the problem | Drove to nearby town and made several stops for shopping, but kept the car running for the ac as people were inside the vehicle that included my disabled veteran husband and his aid. At the last stop, the engine was turned off and the car was parked about an hour. Returned and the engine would not start. All warning lights were on and the inside lights were working. No sound from the engine like a dead battery or bad starter. Called and a sears employee came with a booster box. Box reported battery was putting out 12. 7 volts. He tried jump starting with battery cables. No sound from engine. Called two insurance companies that were trying to arrange transport and an hours later tried the key one more time and it started. Drove home without stopping. Once i got home and turned off the engine i tried to start it again and it would not start. Appeared the problem did not solve itself. |
