Before my tow arrived I tried a jump with cheap cables from a little Toyota Corolla, The flashing power surges stoped but not enough juice to turn the engine. When we got to the repair shop we took a jumper kit and it started and keep running but with a check engine light on and left head light and left tail lights all out. So what have I learned? That checking voltage on a battery with a meter is not going to show me where the cranking amps are at. I learned this late last night on youtube. I also learned how to chase down parasitic battery drains, interesting stuff. I'm waiting on the shop to call me with a simple CHEAP fix. Fingers crossed, I aint religious but if you are prayers couldn't hurt and would be appreciated, Lol!
