On Saturday it was my plan to meet up with Dark Knight at the local car show in Larwenceville, NJ :)

I wash the marauder and clean up the hood:)

I go to start it and ..................nothing :mad2:

I have a another :coffee: watch the dogs for a few minutes and think to myself well it almost 6 years old? (8-13-02 build date)

Call my friend at the shop and he has his hands full on a Saturday morning. I jump start the car and it starts right up, let run a few minutes, shut it off and try again...............more nothing:mad2:

SO I take the pick-up stop at the show and check out Dark Knights marauder :up:look around and take off.

Back home I take another look at the battery and sure enough loose nut on the neg. side, a quick turn of 5/16 wrench and starts like new.

Should have guessed from the start?

I need a vaction:beer:

Having no tolerance whatsoever with battery problems in this texas heat.
I changed mine out at 4 and 1/2 yearslast winter. Could not keep terminals clean kept building up green powder. Anyway glad yours was "easy"

keep on trucking
