You have given me some more items to check. Since I cleaned the batt terminals and got the battery charged, it has started ok. I will check the additional items you mentioned as well. Also I have kept a trickle charger on the battery to keep it charged.

I went to get the car today from my son’s house and it started just fine and no problems on the drive home.

Kall, I’m glad I didn’t pitch the “old” charger. I think that would have been a mistake and added to my list of many that have been made over the years.

I had a starter problem when I first bought the car and had to replace the starter then. The car is still at my son’s house so I haven’t been able to do much with it yet.
