we are charging the battery now and the cig. lighter has been disconnected
When you recollect the battery. Look for spanks. Be sure ask the doors are closed and all power acc are off.
this was very helpful when I cranked the car this morning .....it started. Thank you for your good help.
Glad to hear that. So was it the lighter?
yes it was the lighter but why would a lighter cause this
The lighter was constantly draining power from the battery. Think of the battery as a tank of water and it has a leak.
you have been so helpful we have disconnected the cig lighter we only needed it for our cell phones anyway but once again I thank you very much. Have a very nice day.
