but I could be wrong-I know nothing about cars. :smooch:
2004 envoy-all of a sudden-car wont start. Totally dead. Cant get the key out. Jiggle the key and stuff comes on but I see my clock is at 12:00..although now that i think about it-radio is still on the same channel. Also while sitting there with ignition turned but not started, all of a sudden it sounds like power is going on and off and like the lock is unlocking over and over.
So I try to jump it off a friends POS honda and it gets something but wont start.
Later try to jump it off my Mothers Acura SUV and it starts but struggled and she said she felt it pull hard on her car. Also jumper cables on her end were hot. (dont know if this is norm)
Once i get home and turn it off-its dead immediatly. The inside lights are very dim for a min before going out completely.
Any ideas?
