So when I got home yesterday afternoon the car would not start. Turned a little, but died. I am leaning toward the "battery won't hold a charge" explanation. The battery was only slightly drained, jsut enough to prevent starting. Tonight I will the glove box door, which I doubt is the problem.
If it isn't, and there are no other obvious answers, the low hanging fruit picking approach has me remove the battery and take it to Sears. They can test it and if it's unable to take a charge I will simply trade it in for one of their totally awesome 850 CCA Diehards. I will from that point live happily ever after. Once the battery problem has been solved and I can drive the '85 300TD again, I will start a new thread about whining (it's not what you think). Andrew Who looks forward to warm days so he can fiddle with his garage and two station wagons. Go Nats!
