I recently had the widshield replaced. Now the vehicle will not start with out being jumped. Once it is started, it runs fine. When it is turned off, it has to be jumped again. The battery was replaced over the summer. It seems the alternator is working, but the battery will not take a charge.

Load test the battery and alternator if both okay-start checking for a short circuit that could be raining up the battery

Thank you. As I said, I've just had the windshield replaced. Is it possible that any wires for the wipers may have been bared, or anything to that effect?

The windshield replacement has nothing to do with your present problem
