battery issue? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Car battery was dead after a month of storage.

So, I jumped the car via the battery since it's in my garage. No biggie, right? Then everything went screwy. Car started, windows didn't work right, so I did the procedure to fix them. Next, compass registered - -. Interior dome light was pulsing. So I drove the car around for an hour and it was fine.

The cruise control didn't work, even when the button was pushed in. OnStar light isn't on in the mirror. Backup sensors didn't sound.

Parked the car. Attemped to re-start it, but it just went click click click.

I guess it's time for a new battery? Could it be a larger issue? Thanks.

Pulled the battery, there's acid everywhere. Awesome.

You need to neutralize that acid immediately!
