[QUOTE="FISHTAIL, post: 9907906, member: 19212"] Impossible to answer. You could have a bad alternator that caused you to be driving off of the battery, then after you shut the car down you didn't have enough juice to re-start the car (likely the case), or you could have a bad ground. Given that information, we can't answer the question definitively. If you want to determine if you have a ground problem, then hook some jumper cables up to the car and give it a minute. If your headlights start working again suddenly, chances are everything stopped working because your battery died. Then the chances are good your battery died because your alternator went out. My money is on a bad alternator for this one. [/QUOTE]
