Once you hand in the core, figure on a rebuilt starter setting you back by $100.

As long as you are under the warranty mileage, I would think the starter would be covered.

I've had a dead battery before and everything worked fine it just didn't have enough juice to crank it. Does exactly like you describe..just try it.

you only need like 5 volts to run interior stuff, if its cold, you wont have enough CCA to turn the starter over.

yeah man i see it all day at work. people tow in a car, the RO says crank no start. you go out and the car cranks ok, anyone that didn't know would think its really messed up, when in fact it just doesn't have the power to start the car. throw a jump pack on it and it starts. give it a try, it won't hurt unless you hook it up wrong....
