I was driving and hit the horn, the horn got a dim whining sound, the radio turned off real quick and the ABS light came on on the dash. Then my car wouldnt start after turning it off. any ideas???

The alternator wasn't charging the battery fully, and now the battery doesn't have enough juice to start the car.

Got a jump again after parking by my house, went to work and as I parked I started it rite back up as if nothing happened. then 5 hours later it started again as if nothing happened. She's treating me like my girlfriend, we have an arguement and acts like nothing happens afterwards. =-P lol Thanks

Must be a common thing with the SVX. My car makes noises and it goes away like it never happened.

Thumbs down

Get the alternator (generator) & the battery checked, could be either? Sometimes the alternator wont be charging enough to recharge what the car is using, & the slightest thing will drop the voltage too low for it to run - e.g. blowing your horn!

Or the battery is faulty, & not holding the charge that the alternator is giving it! A new battery is NEVER a guarantee of a good battery!
