They think they get better in the afternoon runs because of morning instructions. Ha!
That explains the deer in the headlights expression until 11AM!



Vic, if cleaning the battery posts and cable ends does not fix the problem, try removing and cleaning up the ground connections in the engine bay and at transmission mount under the car.

Check your rear blower relay- if it sticks, the blower may stay on after engine shut down for a long time, certainly enough to drain a battery on an otherwise good car. Just a thought.
