[QUOTE="Supergumby5000, post: 5183842, member: 563237"] A friend of mine here at school has been having some interesting electrical issues with her car. Long story short, everythings worked fine since school started. The other day, was driven to school. When she got back to her car, it was dead, wouldnt turn over. The car was still beeping/interior lights were working. I just assumed she left the lights on, but im questioning if that was the case or not. So, i jumped her, car started right up. Car is driven to my place and left there for two days. After that two days, she needed her car, so it was driven to her place (started right up). The next day, she goes to start it, and it doesnt start. I come over to check it out, and sure enough it wont start. I got it to turn a couple times at first, then the interior lights would dim and it wouldnt turn over. However, as soon as you stopped trying ot turn over, all the lights worked fine. even the headlights worked great without any dimming. My only guess would be a bad battery, but the battery looks pretty new (this is going off cosmetic condition completely though) any other ideas? we havent tried swappin the battery yet, been too busy.
