Thave a feeling that my car battery has suddenly died. However, it is hard for me to tell (not very knowledgeable with cars). It was running fine all day. Up until I made a stop on the way back home and came back out to start to car and leave. There was nothing but a clicking noise. no cranking or anything. lights or radio wouldn’t work. I popped the hood, jiggled the battery a little, and then it starts up fine. The dashboard was still dim for a few minutes but then went back to normal after I cut the engine and started it again. Do you guys think it is the battery? If so, does it sound like that would be my only issue?
