Info, Battery is a week old, but when jumped the car runs with no problems which I think takes the altornator out of the problem Could I have purchased a bad battery? What else could it possibly be? 2002 Ford ZX2 5spd (2nd baby) Former owner of 1998 Mystique (never filled the shoes on my first love)parents traded for new sable Former owner of 1996 Mystique(My true baby )

We used to keep batteries in stock at work but that created a problem because some would sit for a long time and that sometimes kills them. So it happens that a 'new' battery is bad. They're could be some other problem, but if jumping it off works, then it probably is the battery. Take it up to autozone and have it tested. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15

Your battery cable connections might be corroded. Clean 'em up. Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
