So I was about to leave for work. I go outside and unlock my car. I put the key in and tried to start it but it struggled to start. I tried it again... nothing. I noticed whenever I turned the key to start the car, my alarm would reactivate as if I locked the car. I would have to press the unlock button my alarm remote to deactivate it again.

Could it be my battery?

Please help.

 

Alternator or battery.

 

happened to me 2 days ago and it was the battery. scared the crap out of me thinking it was the starter. but a neighbor gave me a jump and it has been all good ever since.

 

clean your terminal's on your battery, if too much corrosion gets in there, the alternator wont charge your battery. yeah it will make power for while you're driving, but if it doesnt charge your battery eventually its gonna die and you're stuck needing a jump.

 

So I finally got to pull my battery out and bring it to kragen to get it checked out today. They said the battery wasn't charging and I needed to a new one.

I bought it and put it in. The car starts fine now.

Thanks guys.
