well was out and about with Blizzard yesterday and I parked her at the local mall like area as me, my mom, my dad, my sister, and my youngest brother so that we could look at getting a new pair of boots and came back out to the car and went to start her and cranked a bit then stopped. Tried again nothing dang battery died. Well unfortunately I hadn't brought jumper cables so I had to look around for somebody with cables. We found somebody and got the explorer running then went in to big lots really quick and picked up a decent set of jumper cables for $9 that I am going to keep in the car.
Got her home and looked at her to see why the battery died and figured out that it was the battery cable that I have been to lazy to replace.
Before I drive her again I should have a new battery cable on her.
Also thinking the thermostat went bad already because as you are driving she slowly goes up to the L then goes right back down to between the N and O.
Trying to decide weather to get a 195 or a 180 this time.
Did find out the heater in this car works like a charm (I did turn the heater off to rule out the problem above) so I am glad this one is going to be a good winter runner.
Hopefully I can get the new plugs in mama's car and start enjoying those heated seats. LOL
