Electrical problem
2002 Chevy Cavalier Front Wheel Drive Automatic 98,000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
i was leaving work today, and my car wouldn't start due to dead battery. i had one of my work buddies jump it and it ran fine all the the way home (approx. 37 miles). As soon as i turned off the engine the battery was dead and had to rejump the car. What's going on? Is it my battery or alternator or something else?
