Any gearheads with some advice?
- in Milwaukee and it's bitter cold this week
- My car is parked outdoors on driveway, and don't drive too often with working from home. Go to the gym, errands, appts basically.
- 2 days ago was going to the gym and went to start and it did the rawr, rawr, rawr normal starting sound but didn't turn over and conked out with all dash icons lighting up. Tried it again and it started up fine. Went to gym for 2 hr workout and came out and started up and drove fine again.
- Yesterday go out to start it up and it did the rawr, rawr, rawr and conk out again. Tried restarting about 5 times and same thing...never turns over. When I push in the brake pedal to push start it feels very tight and doesn't depress far at all.
- Later in the day when sun was out and a little warmer (like 2 degrees above zero only still), still no luck. Tries to turn over, but never does (lights, heater, radio all come on)
- I used gf's suv to jump start the battery hoping it needed a little juice to get it to turn over, but no luck with that.
Now, not sure what to do as supposed to be bitter cold for the rest of the week.
Any ideas of what the issue is? Any tricks to just get the thing started so I can get it in somewhere and don't need to get it towed?
Appreciate it!
