So after reading and reading I decided to make my own post to see if anyone is expierencing the same problem as I am.
The events:
- 1 month ago my car failed to restart from start stop feature at a red light. Was able to jump and go about my day, continued volt watching on dash
- 2 nights ago my car failed to cold start (dead battery) was able to jump it only to loose power steering, displaying all kinds of warnings and messages. Pulled it into a parking spot and eventually sputtered down and lost COMPLETE electric power. Windshield wipers going, all the normal posted issues with aux batteries. Eventually had the car towed to home, and without knowledge at this point of the aux battery I went to replace just the main battery, no luck, no power after researching I learned about the aux battery and dug into the engine the very next day to swap that out.
-the next day I got the aux battery out, swapped and put back together start the engine to a rough idle, no start stop available and eventually the wonderful “pull over the vehicle will Shut off shortly” which eventually happened.
My question now is first, has anyone had any similar experience or would like to add any input? Because I’m completely stumped.
tonight I have both battery’s separately on a trickle charge. due to the fact that I had batteries changed separately, my thoughts are that maybe by chance one drained the other. But in the morning I will put back together and see what we’re working with.
Could it be the alternator? My jump box test the alternator and said it was good but I wouldn’t understand why the car would START but then loose the power...
