Right in the middle of an off ramp.
I was on my way to pick up my brother at his nephews house at about 5pm.
Today i took my brother to his nephews house so i could take the day off. I home care him for multiple problems. I was thinking of heading up to loon lake today, but decided to stick around home and get some rest.
On the way back to pick up my brother, I was coming of I-80 up the off ramp to the light, everything went black. I sat there for about 2 min and finally got a chance to put the vehicle in n and back down the ramp so i could get onto the side of the road.
I turned the key and nothing, nada. I let it sit for a couple of minutes and the 4 ways got brighter. Tried to start it. click. nothing. just pne click. every thing went dead.
I called Mitch and told him what was happening. about 45 minutes later he shows up. Also a guy in a 80 somethin ranger pulled over and gave me a hand. we hooked up the battery and the B2 started right up.
The new battery is to big for tray. because it has this funky lip on the bottom of the battery that wont let it sit square on the tray.
So I guess i need to change the alternator out.
I asked the guy that stoped if he was a member of this forum. but he wasnt.
I really did appreciate him stoping.
This is the first time that the B2 has left me stranded.
