Q: Battery
Not sure if the battery needs replacing or not. Car was dead when wife was shopping. I went and boosted it got it home. Haven't taken it out again but now it starts every time I try. My wife said there was power to use the key fob to unlock doors and relock them when she went into store to wait for me and horn did beep when she relocked door but engine didn't turn over at all.
My car has 66800 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
