As Usual

[defln67]

i'll drive my car and everythings fine, but when i turn it off and i try to crank it again, it wont turn over cuz the batteries dead, it will only crank when i put jumper cables on it, then its the same thing when i turn it off. oh yeah, if i let it set for a long time it'll crank back up. Any suggestions? Im thinkin altenator*, what do you guys think?

alternator or battery... also before you jump to those pull off the clamps, clean the terminals with some sand paper and put them back on tight... might fix it... also you can take the alternator to get tested at most auto parts stores
