nothing, zip, nada. I had the same symptons as everyone else and I was going to Sears after work. Oh well. Had a friend jump the car off and headed to Sears. They had one in stock. $109 later and she is running great.

Just about made it 4 years.

There's been an ever so subtle change in your signature. Is that battery acid on your clothes?

Yeah, this thing just went dead under 24 hours from the time it started acting up.
