The wing was going up as I backed out of the garage. I had to use the switch to lower the wing. Now at lunch the starter only grunts a little with each turn of the key and won't turn over enough to start. Dash board was all lit up as normal (odometer, clock and idiot lights) and door locks worked fine to relock the car. Those things don't take much battery, but when the original battery went bad, I didn't have any lights - it was totally dead. Even though the battery is only about 14 months old, my first guess without having a chance to get it tested is the battery. My question is - Could it be my RCM or has the battery already given up? I hope I don't get blasted for this question but it's a few more hours before I get off work and chances are pretty good that Advance Auto won't have a replacement battery. What do you guys think?
I answered in your other post.
