Re: Jumped battery - car won't run! HELP!! (melissa'svibe)

Kick (removed)!!! Turns out the battery was dead and was the original. Yes.... I live in Wyoming and went and bought the MAXX battery with the most cold cranking amps. Also in the process found out that I do have a block heater and just now have to plug it in each night! Had my sister-in-law take a ...

Also, plugged in vehicle this morning (when my sister in law found my block heater!) and the vehicle did start for awhile. Then it slowly dies. Found some blown fuses ...

Re: (joholste)

Okay - any idea if this is a security thing or not?? Doesn't make sense to me that the car would start and then die after a few minutes from a loose battery cable. (Well, maybe...)

Jumped battery - car won't run! HELP!!

Okay, so I am fairly new to a decent car and had my vibe's battery die on me two nights ago. Got to go to work yesterday and went to start it and the keyless entry wouldn't let me in, nor would the vibe unlock with my key.
