Battery Dead? Don’t Freak Out.
Stopped at Meijer today and when I came out, my battery was totally dead. Nothing. Nada. We haven't had a tough winter in years, so I'm out of practice. I freaked for a second. But after calling my son, he talked me off the ledge and said to wiggle the battery contacts. That did the trick.
But if it hadn't, have jumper cables ready. And always park your car as to make your engine compartment most accessible.
