Another Electrical Question 200 1980

"Check the battery" -- as stripping 90 suggests -- jumping and then running the car will not fully charge the battery. Have it charged at a repair shop or run a trickle charger for many hours. Checking the battery means using a load tester--if that's not convenient try disconnecting the battery overnight after the charge--if it cranks at full strength the next mornning the battery is probably OK and the problem is elsewhere. If it is sluggish or dead--time for a new battery. -- Dave
