car has been sitting since november, 2014. i was out of the country from november - january and then when i got back the weather / roads were terrible so i never bothered trying to start the car. when i tried to start it today, it wouldn't start. nothing worked - lights, etc..
i had AAA come to the house to take a look.
they jumped the car and it started right up but as soon as they removed the cables from the battery, the car would shut off.
we tried this numerous times with the same result.
even left the cables on the battery for at least 5 minutes to charge it longer, but it still shut off when we removed them.
AAA thinks it is a bad alternator.
what do you guys think?
thanks for the feedback.
