My car would not start on two occasions this week. When I had it jumped, it started up fine, got to work, when leaving work 8 hours later, it started again. The next morning, I needed a jump again. I checked all the fuses as per the manual but can't find any blown. Any other possibilites for me?

Hello

The need to keep having to jump start it indicates the battery is not getting charged. This is accomplished from your alternator. My suggestion is to take your car to Auto Zone or O’Reilly’s and for free they will bring a machine out to your car and it can check your battery, alternator and starter at the same time. Before you do this though, save some time and charge your battery. A low battery will give a bad check or not able to check at all. Next, while there, for free they can pull the codes on the car. I believe this will help track down your problem for you per your description.
