Went to garage to start car.......Upon entering
the cabin there was a ''ticking'' or ''clicking' sound
and there was no power when trying to start car.
Clicking noise continued.........
Hooked up battery charger, got battery charged to
12.5 volts.........remained overnight, checked battery
next morning, still at acceptable 12.5 volts. Car
was started..........no clicking going on....all systems
worked. Checked voltage with car engine running
and it showed a charge of 14.4 volts.....seems that
is about right.
My question is: What the (?) happened and what
should I check to make sure I'm not stranded or
something. The Battery is a delco 6 yr and it is 5
yrs old., but obviously will still hold a good charge.
Is there something like a relay or fuze that did not
work right that allowed this battery to run down?
