Hello. I have a 2003 d2 that didn’t start when we came out of the shopping center. Dry crank as long as I held the key but would turn over. After a while it finally started up then died after about 10 min. Got it started again, then died on my way home. Now I don’t even get a dry crank. A single click and then my lights go off and on as long as I hold the key.

today I came out and when I try it it does the same thing but my alarm goes off when I try to start.

I have replaced crank position sensor, the start motor is less than a year old, had battery checked (51% charge, full voltage) don’t think it’s alternator. My negative cable is a little bit worn but if my 90 Buick can start so should this.

one last thing I haven’t tried was a different battery. This one is an autocraft gold. I think it’s from 2018. Czech Republic.

any suggestions? My shop wants a 500$ deposit to have my truck towed there (non-running). Really odd I’ve never had them ask me that before. My starter is under warranty so if it’s that I’m good there. Just gotta get it to the shop.

 

get AAA for tow

 

If your battery is really only 50% charged then it needs charging or replacing first of all I'd say...
