now next day after lunch it doesnt start. i had some funky greenish blue corosion on my positive post so i cleaned both + and - off and applied some protectent.. all day yesterday everything was great this morning it started right up then after lunch when i went to go back to work nothing... my friend jumped me it started right up but then when i went to start it up again later it was dead again. could it be time for a new battery it is 5 years old...

Sounds like it to me... Take it to a loal parts shop, most have free battery testing.

yea im gonna bring in the battery after work

Good luck!

thanks... it cant be the alternator yet i only have 36,000 miles i guess it could be the cables but they look good... so im hoping battery its a easy fix...

I am betting battery~! I just had this happen to me last week! And my battery had just turned 5 years old! A quick check you can do if you don't have a multimeter to check alternator output is to get it running and pull the positive cable. Turn on all of your electric, lights, blower, etc. If it stays running the alternator is most likely okay! They hook it all back up and head for your favorite battery store!

it was my battery it was only putting out 403 cold cranking amps and it was rated at 490
