My car wouldnt start
I live in texas and we have had a couple real cold days lately. I got in my car after going in home depot for about 5 minutes, and it wouldnt start. Like it went completely dead, wouldnt turnover or anything. Well, i called my dad and he came up to the store 5 minutes later. He tapped the battery post and i clicked the key and presto it started. Weird huh?p :confused:

Not weird, Sounds like your Dad grew up in the same school I did...
Old trick..
turn the key nothing..
put a screwdriver between post & terminal on battery..wiggle it
usually cleans the connection enough ..
next time you are home disconnect the battery... clean everything real good
