My car is dead
Yesterday I took my car to get gas and then to get it cleaned. Both times I shut it and it started right up. I went into the house and came out about 5 hours later and the car was dead,stone dead no lights,no dash lights,no cranking, no nothing. The only thing I can think of is the battery.I have the car 3 years and it's the same one. For all I know it may be original(1999). It's a Delco batttery and had the black spot up were it should be green. Any place else to look besides the battery.
