The terminals are clean, but the battery would not jump start for anything. I'm a car dealer and I just bought the car at auction, so I have no idea how old the battery is. It's a Wal-Mart battery and the date was not punched. I am still puzzled that it took a charge, but would only turn over when I used my charger on Start Mode to help it, and even then it still wouldn't start. I'll won't be back on that car until tomorrow. Hopefully the car will fire up with a new battery and I can check the alternator, which is still my best guess.
BTW, the car drove fine for a couple of days during daylight. Yesterday it was raining. It was the first time I've driven the car with lights and wipers on, so I'm thinking that was just enough to overwork the weak alternator and run off of the battery.
