That kind of mileage out of your battery is pretty awesome, though.

yes, when the batteries are bad, the starter turns but it just wont start. whent went the first time I almost towed it to the shop and on a whim I had the batteries tested. the second time I knew when it cranked and didnt start and threw no codes, it was most likely the batteries. when one goes it kills the second
