HAVE YOU SNATCHED THE BATTERY COMPLETELY OUT AND CHARGED IT?

BETTER STILL---TAKE THAT PUPPY TO ADVANCE AUTO PARTS AND HAVE IT "FULLY" TESTED

IF IT NEEDS CHARGING---THEY WILL DO IT (THEY DO HERE).............BOTH SERVICES ARE FREE IN MY PART OF THE COUNTRY!

NOW........HERE'S THE THING.......IF THEY SAY YOU NEED A NEW BATTERY.........LET THEM LOOK IT UP AND GIVE YOU THE PART NUMBER....THE PART NUMBER...THE PART NUMBER...........

DON'T GET IT YET! TALK TO ME 1ST
