Car ran just fine last night, started up fine with no hesitation.

This morning I got to my car and its almost dead. I did not leave any lights on or any acc on. I get my gf's civic and jump it and it barely starts. Killed one HID light. Yay it keeps getting better.

I drive the car to work about 15-20 mins (I was late so I couldn't drive farther). Turn car off and its dead again. Not enough juice to use the power lock to lock it!

So now it sits dead in an underground garage at work. I'm hoping it's the battery. The battery is probably 2-3 years old + now. I'll jump it again after work and take the car to be tested

I used to have starting problems. I had a new battery and everytime I start it, it sounds like a weak crank. I installed ground wires and it started much better. Due to the age of the car, the ground points might be corroded or something similar. Try to get a new battery too.

thanks for your advice.

I did notice there is a lot of white corrosion on the negative terminals so it could be a bad connection there. I've owned the car for two years and I haven't changed the battery. Who knows how old the battery is! I'm going to have the system checked later this afternoon so I'll post an update.

Update: car starts!

I noticed some corrosion on the neg terminal and found it was a bit loose. I got it on tight and it fired up and both HID headlights work now *phew*

I'll be changing the terminal connectors asap!

Good to hear your car is now running.
