I haven't been using the Contour as much as I should in the past little while.I have been running it around at least once a week, just to let the mechanicals and engine know that they are not forgotten and I still care.
Today I went to start it up and I got the no start lo battery sequence..tach needle going up and down , no starter engagement and the weirdest part that I had never seen before was the wipers started up on their own.I trickled charged the battery for a little while and it started ..not with the regular quick start,but, more like an old guy (like me ) getting up in the morning.The engine purred along after that and everthing appears normal.
I'll see what happens tomorrow .
I believe the battery will have to be replaced, although i think it did have lots of indicated charge since the headlights were nice and bright without the engine going.
Has anyone had the wipers come on in a simliar situation ?
