Went to leave 7 days later, had to use emergency again but stopped twice on way home, no problems, Started it up twice today no problem. BATTERY NEED REPLACING? THOUGHTS?

Thanks


If the battery starts it normally even sometimes it would be hard for me to conclude that it is at fault. But it’s easy to check with a load tester. Many parts stores will test for free if you don’t have one. Much more likely is a connection, relay or wiring problem. Have you cleaned all of the battery and ground connections lately? Since the emergency start switch works I’m thinking it’s just dirty or loose connections at the chassis battery.
