So I havnt had any issues with my car lately but last night after I turned my car off I noticed I was too close to the wall in my garage, so I decided to turn it back on to back up and reposition myself but then for no particular reason my car wouldnt start. I didnt have a battery charger or anything and all i had was jumper cables so I jumped it and it started, but after 15 minutes of running and turning it back off, the car wont turn on again.

My guess is that I either have a bad battery or an alternator but Im not too quite sure

 

Both can be tested in car at Autozone.

There yah go.

 

ill probably check it out after labor day, the only hassle is that i need to get a jump start every time i want to turn it on now which doesnt sound too appealing

 

^Well, you'll have to do that reagardless till you find the problem. Might as well get tested there and if it's a battery, to buy one while you're there.

 

yeah im hoping its the battery

 

if you need a battery and have a Costco card, then you're best buying from them. they're dirt cheap. otherwise, get them test.

 

I would think that's the alternator not charging the battery.. but it's easy as hell with a multimeter.

 

I would guess it's the battery. I just had my alternator go out on me and the battery light actually came on. Swapped out alt's and the light went away and it's running great again.
