My battery is only 2 years old, have had problems with everything electrical in this car, the back windshield wiper doesnt work, had to put a toggle switch in to shut off interior lights. Started 2 days ago, left toggle switch on for less than 5 minutes, needed a jump start..Next morning needed another jump..(I live in the Northeast, so it was wicked cold)..Drove it around for 30 minutes after the second jump and it started right up that same day...Next morning, started but stalled, then would not start again..Tried jumpstarting it with two different cars and 2 different pairs of cables. Could tell it was drawing off their battery cuz their headlights dimmed when I tried to start the car..Husband says it is probably a bad starter or something to do with the engine. I dont believe it..The headlights dim on this car when you use the power windows, the interior lights dont shut off until you hit 25 mph..I had my alternator checked when I bought the new battery...Please help
