Hi, I have a 93 Honda civic that I have had battery issues with for a while. I recently bought a new battery, but the positive cable has been lose. I had issues starting the car, but wiggling the cable around usually worked for this. The other day, though, it took several tries for the car to start. I tried to start it later that day, and it wouldn't do anything but emit a low buzz sound like something was trying to charge. It tried to turn over once, but died imediately. I tried jump starting it today, but nothing happened. I am wondering if it is the alternator or the starter. I have never had problems with either one of those, so am not sure what the signs are that they are bad. Please help.
