Electrical problem
1996 Buick Lesabre 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

The other night I came home from work and the car was fine and when my boyfriend went to use it not even 10 minutes later the car wouldn't start. we tried jumping it and it didn't hold the charge and we were wondering if maybe we needed a new battery or if we need to fix the alternater.

Could be something draining the battery overnite caused by a short circuit within the electrical system. Get the alternator and battery load tested
