UGH!!! More electrical problems!

Well, I just went to the storage unit to try and start the Bird. Of course the battery was dead. So i pulled out the jumper box and she started right up. *GOD did i miss the sound of my baby*. I let it ide for about 15-20 minutes. Turned it off, and tried starting it again. Nothing. It's almost as if the battery won't take a charge. So I checked the terminals, they seemed fine on the battery. So i'm confused as hell. Think its a bad ground?

Double check all the connections and the power and ground blocks on the passenger strut tower. I would also take the battery into a parts store or shop and get it load tested, then you'll know for sure.

You may need more than 15 minutes of idle time to recharge a battery that's gone totally dead over several months.

I'll had back over to the storage unit and give it some more time. Bring it home and check everything out. Hopefully its just a dead battery.
