I have had battery and alternator checked. Both were good. Left us stranded with light saying low battery and only made clicking noise. A friend come gave us a jump. Drove it home and shut it off and restarted it. Seemed okay. Tried to restart it after it cooled down and it did but seemed to drag. The light indicating low battery never reappeared.

Can you get a video of this when it is starting? I assume what you mean by dragging is that is takes a little longer to start or sounds like it is turning over slower?

If this is the case then we need to find out how you tested the battery and alternator. Clearly if they both tested ok then we may have an issue with the starter or wiring. Here is a guide that will help with this. We need to make sure we load tested the battery and not just check the voltage.

Lets start with this and we can go from there. Thanks
