Markus56 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 So i used my Subaru battery to drive a free Geo prism from bellingham to mount vernon. as soon as i got it home and parked, the radiator exploded and sprayed antifreeze all over the battery and engine compartment. when i put the battery back in the subaru, nothing happened when i went to start the car. went to jump it and the battery was toast, but it started. drove it 5 miles and parked. came back 3 hours and i turned the key and heard a click. then the battery is dead. jumped it again the get home, and put it on the charger for 8 hours. checked the battery level when and it said 85%. turned the key and heard a click. nothing happened. i checked the bettery level and it said 0%.

bheinen74 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 well, the Geo Prism was free, but it ate your battery. total cost, 79.99 it probaby fried your battery with a bad alternator or something of the sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one eye Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Clean the terminals they have water on them and are not getting a good connection. Make sure they are dry and clean, then you'll be back in bussiness. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
