    lol i hope its the battery for 2 reasons:

    1) its an easy fix

    2) you're wrong

    (fyi lights & windows working does not mean a battery is good. they dont pull the amperage that a starter does and newer vehicles actually have circuitry that prevents the starter from engaging with low battery voltage, so you won't get that slow cranking that's the norm with older vehicles and dead/dying batteries)

    Well we will see in a few hours I guess. My batt sits at 12.8 and 13 when it's fully charged when it's at 12.5 I hit the button for % and it's nowhere near 100% not sure if that means anything. If a battery is bad not only will it have to charge a few minuets the car jumping it needs to be big enough as well. Had a rice burner trying to jump a caddy revving it and all kinds of stuff. I said let me try he argued with me man I have a red top if I can't do it you can't. The caddy owner finally let me try cranked over first try. I looked at him and said I have a 160amp alternator and my battery is twice as big as yours the guy was butt hurt LOL

    Nope you were wrong like the rest of us. I always say battery first until you say you have completed the steps to rule that out. Click no start test battery then harness then starter in that order simplest first.
