battery water
So the drama that was my electricals is over, all because this damn vegas heat evaporated the water in my battery.
I took it to checker and had them test my battery while my car was running since if i turned it off it would of had to be jumpstarted again.. anyways it read 13.8V.. so i was like.. okaaay its not the battery... alternator? hence the asking for alternators etc.. but what i was confused about was if it was my alternator.. why does my car still run? so it had to of been the battery and the dont-know-nothing checker employee's fault.
i was just about to take the battery out to get a new one and i noticed the wells.. i totally forgot they were even there... and lo and behold = dry.. i put water in it, charged it for about 2 hrs and now its running and starting on its own again. so long story short.. check the water in your battery!
