This is what happened:

1 week ago my amplifier was left ON for 2 days in my car and it emptied my battery completely. Now when I try to recharge it with a battery charger the current starts at 10A and goes down to 6A, and it stays there for a couple of hours. The fully charged battery has a charging current of 0A, why won’t the current go down to 0A ? Does anyone know a better way of charging it ? Someone recommended that I should change the acid and the water inside the battery, good idea ?

I have a 1991 honda civic. I left the lights on and the battery was dead when I got off work. A friend jumped it and it started it right way. The next morning it won't start again, nothing would turn on and the engine didn't try to turn either. Complete silence. I asked a coworker to help jump it, initially the lights in the car turned on but the engine would do nothing. After charging the battery with my friend's car for about 10 minutes I tried again and the engine made click-click-click sounds, but still would not start. I finally gave up and went to work. Later that night I asked another friend to help jump the car, except he's a dork and connected his end of the jumper cable backwards. It was on there for a few minutes before I realized it. Then he corrected it but my car still would not start. We went and got a new battery, intalled it, but the car still would not start, no lights, no sounds, nothing. I check all the fuses and they seem to be ok. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!

When I turn on my car it turns slow and sounds like it wont start for a secound. When my key is in the on position(when the engine isnt on). My check engine light is on and my battery light is on. My battery is about a year or 2 years old so I dont know if that is it. Could this be my starter? How do I check my starter or battery to see if that is the problem? I can replace them myself but I dont know how to figure out what the problem is.

Ive noticed many of the poor people in my neighboorhood have cheap cars with GIANT WHEELS with alot of CHROME. Where do they get this done, what is the procedure, how much does it cost and why on earth would anyone spend money on this as opposed to using the money to get a better car?

The show Overhaulin' on TLC seems like it would cost a fortune because of all the parts and the labor, how much does it cost for one of those cars to get overhauled? Secondly, does the Overhaulee have to pay anything at all?

I own a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer. The right headlight keeps blowing out. I replace this and it lasts about 1-2 weeks and then blows again. What could be the problem? Is this a problem with this model?

I own a 2004 F-150 New body style. I can engage 4wd and it works until it's needed. As soon as a load is put on the transfercase (whether it be the slightest grade or high rpm wheelspin) it will disengage the front end. The front driveshaft disegnages and does not spin. It's either switch related or tcase related. I am siding towards transfercase related, I imagine its the electric shift motor (it's Shift on the fly). Does this sound like the shift motor is not engaging all the way or what? The shift motor is only $100 used.

1993 toyota camry (4 cyl)

the car ac works well, relatively speaking, but it only blows cold air when im moving, or when the engine speed is higher than idle. it blows cold if i rev the engine up past ~2K when i'm sitting at a light. however, when the car is idling the air coming out is barely "cool".

both the aux fans work btw.
