  • Is my battery bad?

    When it's cold out, like now, after sitting over night, my car will be quite frosty, and i get up early to get to where i need to be, push the unlock button on my remote, and if you listen closely, you hear a light clicking sound, from the front of the car, they are i'd say maybe 230-260 bpm. After a few seconds of this, the car will unlock if i push the unlock button again.

    I then get into the car, put the key in the ignition, and turn it to the "on" position, not yet in "start" and there is that same consecutive clicking coming from all around me, and i think thru the stereo possibly too. If i try to start it, it will continue clicking, but the open door dinging will join in the fun, at 230-260 bpm. After say 10 seconds of this, it stops, and the car cranks no problem, starts like usual, the first second i turn the key.

    I'm under the impression my batter might be bad, I'm not sure how old it is, and there are no clear date markings on it, and i haven't had a chance to test it, just wondering if yous agree, or what you think..
    Thanks.

    It sounds like a bad terminal, check them then post back,
    look for it to be loose, fraid wires, brocken terminals, things like that
    K&N air filter, Whisper air lid, magnaflow LT1 cat back, and magnaflow high flow cat, pacesetter headers, silverstars<br /><br />more to come soon<br />but for now im out of money

      Checked the terminals, took them off, they were/are secure and everything looks like it's in good shape.

          it only does it the first time i start the car on a given day, so i'll see if i can find it tomorrow morning.

          Though the keyless entry thing happens sometimes at other times in the day, and not ALWAYS when it's below (close to) freezing.
