I drove my car to work this morning, and it worked just fine. After work, I got in the car and tried to start it and nothing happened. (NOTE: I UNLOCKED THE CAR WITH THE KEYLESS REMOTE) You could barely see any lights on the dash. I got the car jumped and I drove it home. Once home, I turned the car off and tried to start it again. Nothing. So, I took the battery to Auto Zone and the battery tested GOOD. The Auto Zone guy told me to test the alternator by taking of the positive battery cable while the car is running. If the car cuts off, then the alternator is bad. Well, I tried this and the car stayed on! My mom noticed before she jumped the battery that when she pressed down on the top of the battery where the water goes, the car would come on! We put water in the battery but still the car wouldn't start. After jumping yet again, I let it run for about twenty minutes, cut it off, and now it starts right back up. Could it be the alternator or a bad connection??
