I have a 1993 Ford Explorer. I recently went to start my truck and noticed it seemed like it was dead, but then it cranked up. The next day it started up fine, but when I went to the store and was only gone for 10 minutes, I came outside and my truck wouldn't start. I let it sit for about 5 minutes and then it cranked up. It's been doing the same thing, once it goes dead it takes like 5-10 minutes, and then it'll crank up.
I notice that even the slightest bit of juice I use (i.e., if I leave the door open for a few minutes, it won't start).
Is this a case of a bad battery or alternator or maybe something else?
Also, I was thinking this could be the problem... I have several auxillary lights wired directly to the battery and noticed there is a LARGE amount of corrosion on both terminals. Could the corroision be causing a bad connection and causing my vehicle not to start at times?
PLEASE ADVISE.
