i ran into a problem while at lunch i was in mycar about to go to work so i flip the key and no power but the cd player and dash lights are lite, so i got a jump and when i got to work i turned off the car and tried to start it up but this time nada thing only the clicking noise constantly so i jumped again this time the motor runs a lil the at idle the car shuts off so i thought it was the alt so i got it check at a local store they said perfect condition...so im like hmmm????? fuses are all good....any idea anyone???

 

Did you have them check the battery, too?

 

Doing that at lunch

 

agreed modern cars have an circuit that monitors the battery and will not let the car run if the battery is bad. So even if you get a jump, if the battery is bad it will not continue to run.

 

Thanks for the info
