I have a gremlin with the 2000 V-8 LS.
It seems that somehow a little monster has jumped onboard.
Yesterday just before shutting the car down I noticed a slight power drop, you know lights seemed dim, dash lights also, then boom the radio goes out.
Went into store, came out to a non cranking car (dead batt symptoms)
Hit up a stranger for a jump and boom in action.
Off to the auto parts store and the battery was load tested fine.
Car was fine for several starts and runs after.
Then this morning it looses power while attempting to drive and it only allowed about 1/10 throttle for the motor to make any forward progress.
Dash lights, headlamps, radio all off while this happened.
On shoulder and the traction and ABS lights are on as well as most of the dash backlighting with the key OUT.
DOT worker attempted to jump and it started once, then stalled now just clicks.
It was towed to my local shop and we shall see what they say.
It's electrical so its out of my hands. To cold for that stuff!
Any guesses?
