So I went to start my car today and she wouldn't start. Turned the key and it went "click click" and wouldn't turn over. Radio, lights, windows, fan, headlights, etc, all worked but she wouldn't turn over. I hooked it up to jumper cables and it immediately started up. Drove it, let it run for a while, turned it off and 15 minutes later............dead again. Hooked it up to jumpers again and she fired right up. 10 mins later............dead again.
In engineering mode, the battery says 0.0% charge. Im confused because everything in the car is working, radio, lights, etc. Also, when I tried to get into engineering mode, the dash board went crazy......"ABS fault", "stability control off" flashing............etc.
Im pretty sure its the battery as its the stock battery still and its 4-5 years old, I've just never seen a car have a dead battery but still have accessories work. Is it just that there isn't enough juice to start the car??
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks guys
