1990 Oldsmobile Delta 88 mileage: 214,000. My car won't start, the battery is only two or three weeks old. The car gave no indication of a problem. I drove it all day-short trips-but after letting it sit for a few hours, when I tried to start her, it wouldn't turn over. All digital dash lights up, but no cranking of any kind. I replaced the starter, and still nothing. Please help.

From what you tell us, it sounds like you may be having trouble with the charging system. Have the battery load tested and check the alternator output for voltage and amperage.
