Hey gang,
I was parked listening to the radio, engine off with the key on ACC this morning. After 15 min or so, the radio turned off. Now all electrical is dead. Won't turn over, no interior lights, no dash wake up, nothing. It's like there is no battery in the vehicle.
Unfortunately, I'm at work, in my dress clothes and parked in a puddle! LOL. I at least have jumper cables and a Leatherman like multi-tool.
I've never had a battery fail instantly. It's like a switch was turned off. I thought I could test it by hooking up jumper cables and tap them quickly to see if I still have spark. Thinking no spark = failed battery.
Anyone have ideas or input that I could investigate beyond battery?
Thanks in advance!
Ken
