My car usually drives fine but just recently my battery drained completely and I had to jump my car. Since then my car when I slow to a stop my car shuts off?

Hi,

Have you replaced the battery or determined what caused it to drain? If the battery isn't being charged properly, low voltage can cause issues.

Do me a favor. Start by confirming the alternator is doing its job.

Do this and let me know the results. Also, let me know if anything has been replaced or repaired.

Take care and God bless,

Joe

Yes, my wife had left the glove box open that has a light in it which led it to drain the battery.
