[QUOTE="PhatTonyDeMarco, post: 965493, member: 560787"] I went out today to leave my house, I try to disable my alarm, nothing happens. I use the key to open to door, alarm doesnt go off. I try to start the car, nothing happens. So I got my brothers car, and tried to jump it. I let his car run for about 30 minutes, and tried to start mine, the guages and everything jumped, and my dome light came on, and my mileage came on, but all I heard from the starter was "Tick Tick Tick." I let it charge for another 15-20 minutes, and then tried again, it tried to turn over, but nothing happened. My neighbor called his brother, who is a mechanic, and he said to clean the battery terminals. I did, and still nothing. And when I reconnected the terminals after cleaning, it was completely dead again... Do I need a new battery? Someone told me I might need a new alt.... HELP PLEASE [/QUOTE]
