Mike, Here are the morning results after disconnecting + last night. I checked battery prior to hook up and it was 12.13. Then I hooked up and tried to start the car. She made a very feeble attempt but did not start. But usually if is so dead I hear nothing at all, not even a click. I checked it after hook up and it was 11.90. Now when I put the cable back on I listened very carefully and could hear a tiny sizzle sound ever so slightly. Now I am more baffeled than I already was. Let me ask you a question. I may have done a really stupid thing but think you should know. I didn't realize that the battery was not charging when the car is sitting running in the drive. So just before winter a couple of times, (thinking that this was all due to never starting the car) I would put it outside on the drive and let it run, sometimes many hours. I somehow feel my tail going between my legs. Did I do something really bad by doing this????? Please say no, Please say no, Please say no!!! I feel cleansed almost, just getting that out. I began to think about it realized how dumb I was. Now having said all that, what would be your next thought for me. I gotta think your running out of idead. Anyone out there got an idea for me.
