And the Verdict Is...

...corroded battery cables!

It's one of those "mixed feelings" diagnoses. On the one hand you feel stupid that you didn't just clean them while you were taking apart the battery thing to begin with. On the other hand, you're glad it was only a $75 repair bill.

Of course, the $75 tow bill isn't pretty.

We had a similar experience a couple weeks ago.

I hate car repairs and tow truck bills.

Thanks for the comments, Anita! :) Glad to know that nothing too serious was wrong with your car.

for some reason, our car's battery always corrodes the connections. We have to buy a new battery way more often than we should because of it!

does yr car insurance pay for towing? Might be able to get that back! Glad it's nothing more serious.

No, Kristi, I checked. Apparently you have to especially ask for roadside assistance, and I didn't think about it :P
