My car was recently returned to me this past Friday after extensive bodywork (camaro vs. deer incident). At first it seemed fine, then one night, when I flicked the brights on, the car went dead - completely - for a second or two and fired back up. I thought it may have been the alternator, but after having it tested, everything seemed okay. Then just yesterday, I stopped for gas. The car was idling lower than usual (500-600 rpm instead of 1000), and after gassing up, the car was dead. No lights, no nothing. I jiggled a few cables near the battery, and it fired up and ran fine. When I got it home, I spent some time checking the charging cables, etc. and found that the negative battery cable was loose. I tightened it before leaving for work this morning. Could this have been the only problem? Causing the low idle and everything? Or do I need to take it back to the repair shop and make sure they didn't mess anything else up? Thanks for any help.
