Tonight the lights went out in Florida

My Car wouldnt start tonight. It would click, but not even turn over. Lt1 Brutus and I fought to no effect to get it to crank. I had to put it in neutral and let it roll down to the entrance to the garage. GM roadside jumped me off, and now it runs fine. WTF?

Next time don't leave your lights on.

Seriously, sounds like the wonderful Delco battery has seen better days. If they replace it under warranty, fine. Otherwise, get an Interstate.

i had something similar happen to me.


driving down the freeway...get pulled over for a ticket.

turn the car off.........get ticket..........try to turn car back on, and nothing.

no clicking, no power, no radio, no nothing.

looked under hood, everything seemed fine.....was about to start smashing the car with a large rock, but i tried the key one more time, and it started like normal, and has been fine since then.

weird.
