Hi guys,
2 days ago, I got to school a little early, so I played angry birds for about 20 minutes. When it was time to walk to class, I noticed I forgot to turn off the lights. Sure enough, it wouldn't start and had that little clicking sounds it makes. I didn't have time to worry about it, so I headed off to class. When I got back about 4 hours later, it somehow had just barely enough juice to turn over. It was fine until this morning.
This morning, it also barely started. I figured the drive to school would charge it up a bit and I could go to autozone after class. Well, when I parked, I shut it down. Curiously, I wanted to start it back up to see if it would happen. Nothing but clicks. Then something really weird happened. I removed the key and went around to the other side to grab my bag. When I was on the passenger side, with keys in hand, and I noticed that all the dash lights were on as if the key was in the ignition and in the "on" position. The CD player was resetting and I knew all of this was drainging precious juice. So I went around and put the key in and turned the key to "on", then turned it off and removed the key. This seemed to turn everything off, so I grabbed my bag and left. This was a really weird occurrence and I am a bit worried now.
First off, I am hoping there is enough juice so that I can start it and go straight to autozone and get a battery. But i am also worried about having caused any electrical problems. (I am deathly afraid of having electrical problems) Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
