Hello, I have a Chevy Camaro 1998. Like two weeks a go I ended in the ditch of the highway and apparently nothing happened. I could drive home but the car was losing power, was like i was driving with the break on and some lights went on suddenly.Well, next morning the car didnt start, I bought a new battery and it started but next morning (again) the car didn't make any electrical response. I am going to take it to a electric car specialist here in my town but... Do anybody there know what happens with the car ? is like the car is spending the battery over the night. I guess there is a direct relation with the previous accident right ? In any case, would be very expensive to repair the damage ? Thanks much

Hi:
Have you checked for damage under the vehicle. Is the alt belt still attached? If you want, take the car to a parts store and have them see if the alt is producing.

Let me know what you find.
