battery

89 Hoss · 01-31-2006, 06:40 PM

I bought a new battery from advanced auto parts in December. The battery is now dead or low so I took it back to exchange it for another. Is there anything you can think of in a 1998 GT that may have a short. Or do you think it may have been a bad battery?

The battery should have some type of warranty I would guess. Have them check it out and replace it under warranty if it's bad.

I got the battery replaced, is there anything in the car that could have drained it or do you think it was just a bad battery

It could be either.

No problem, any ideas on what to check for the short if one.

By the way did Lee ask you if you had any kick panels laying around?

Hmmm, you know... I just may have some interior peices laying around -- I forgot that I had stripped a lot of that stuff out of the '91. I'll check and see what I have, Joe.

That's for buying an Autocrap battery from Advance.

A lot of times a battery just dies for no good reason...I haven't noticed it as much with the Super Start's we carry at O'Reilly, but it happens from time to time. Just a bad batch, I guess. I'd be concerned if the replacement dies in a short time, though.
