MANY AUTO PARTS STORES WILL TEST THE STARTER AND ALTERNATOR...............ON OR OFF THE VEHICLE......FOR FREE

SO THE EZist THING TO DO, IF IT WON'T DRIVE, IS TO REMOVE THE BATTERY AND TAKE IT THERE

IT MAY NEED TO BE CHARGED OR REPLACED...........SOME STORES WILL CHARGE IT FOR FREE TOO!

GET IT RUNNING----THEN TAKE THE WHOLE VEHICLE BACK IMMEDIATELY, AND HAVE THE WHOLE SYSTEM TESTED (ALTERNATOR, ALONG WITH THE BATTERY)

NOW THEN---SOUNDS EZ....HUH?

COULD BE THIS TOO!..........SEE MY LINK

GONNA HELP YOU WITH PARTS.............IF I CAN............BEFORE YOU "JUST START BUYIN' STUFF"

THIS "PROCEDURE" DEFINITELY WORKS FOR "THIS STORE"............ "A124".....IT JUST WORKED YESTERDAY FOR MY BROTHER-N-LAW.............IF THEY ARE NOT IN YOUR REGION, SURELY A SIMILAR "PROCEDURE" MAY WORK FOR ANOTHER AUTO PARTS STORE IN YOUR AREA.............I'M TELLING YOU THIS BECAUSE A BATTERY W/ A DECENT WARRANTY IS GONNA COST YOU AT LEAST $100 OR MORE.........SHOULD YOU NEED ONE..............THE ABILITY TO SAVE $40 AND BARELY BE INCONVENIENCED, MAY MEAN YOU CAN BUY THE BETTER PART, INSTEAD OF JUST SETTLING...........REGARDLESS.....$40 IS $40 AT MY HOUSE!
