So I got it jumpstarted. Then I drove around for 40 minutes and came back home. I turned off the ignition and tried to start the car again it would not start. Thus I had to jump start yet again. This time however, I got it to start, turned off the engine, then started it again normally. It worked. So to me it seems the car is choosing to start or not on a whim because it is not at all consistent. Whenever I start the car the interior light dims telling me that the battery is weak. I guess the problem is that the battery won't charge. Should I replace the battery? What else could be the problem?
Bad battery, bad altenator, corrosion on battery posts.
