Geez!!!

Went out today to leave for 'ladies lunch' and the Element would not start, deader than a doornail!!! And it just came to me that i left the cargo light on! Since Sunday when i came back home.  Now why if i could immediately think what was wrong?  could i not think of it right after i used it! AND turn it off when i was done??
Brian was supposed to hook up the charger while i took the pick-up, it started right up!! Got home, he was gone and had not hooked it up to the charger, SO i figured it out all by myself, it is about halfway there right now.  Just hook red to red, black to black. It just did not DO anything, i thought it would hum or something or a light go on somewhere that it was working, nope. BUT the charger needle did show that it was moving up and not staying at 0..so, assume that is a good, OK thing.
One more disaster averted :) (well i hope, have not tried to start the car yet)

  1. I've done that same thing and just had my car jumped and drove off. Battery was charged when I got back. Good for you figuring it out. Not much of a holiday present though. :-)
