It measured 12V, the one in the 2007 measured maybe 12.25V. Even with jumper cables on it, it didn't start, Then everyone said battery, I was at my friends to get the trailer to take it to a shop , and I thought I should recheck with a battery that I know works. Good thing. Saturday I also found a nail in one of the rear tires, I was contemplating on getting new snows this year, but figured I'd wait till next year, so now I'm getting 2 new ones.

Also get this, I went to put the snows on the 2007 this weekend and, I should have know better. In August I had the car in for warranty work and they had the wheels off, normally I loosen them when I get home from the dealer but I forgot. Anyways my impact gun busted 3 studs on the rear drums, they were on wicked tight, glad I didn't have a flat out on the road, I would never had got them off. And don't say torches because who keeps a torch in there car. Why do monkeys or farmers all ways end up at dealerships using nuclear powered impact guns? I keep studs on hand for such an occasion, now I need to stock up.

Thanks everyone

actually the Fucus battery terminals are known for degrading.. Both my 01's have a bad neg if I don't install a ring of sheetmetal (wire brushed the paint off a pop can and cut it into a strip) I get the tic tic tic aswell right now I have a Spade end wedged between the terminal/post to get it to contact correctly
