My wife had an 85 chevy that was slow cranking on Monday mornings.She worked a 5 day week at a college.She went to visit her family for 3 days, on day 4 the chevy wouldnt crank so her brother put in a new battery.Back home it slow cranked after setting 2 days.I was busy getting hay in so she left the car at a garage near the college.She came home with a new alternator.Car did the same thing on the week end.I couldnt check the battery with my hydrometer as it was sealed.The new alternator was charging ok.I pulled the battery cable and got a spark.I had removed the under hood light bulb.Next suspect was the trunk light.Opened the trunk lid and touched the bulb, it was hotter the a fire cracker.It had been on full time and pulled a half amp.A new socket cost 8.00.New cars would be harder to track down.Dont forget the glove box light.Stop light swiches are suspect.Radio on off switch is suspect,Ive found a few that didnt switch off.Friend had a new exhaust system put on his Ranger pickup.Went to the same garage for an inspection sticker.They told him his exhaust system was bad.He had their bill in the truck and showed it to them.I had warned him that The shop had a bad rep but he went there any way .
