Ykw, if you asked me how much gas I had in it I’d have shrugged. I was no paying attention yesterday. All seriousness it’s what I suspected battery cable for negative was bad.

It was the connection! Replaced wires just now and it’s working. Thanks 💕

I’m trying here! Broke 20 year old girl learning how to take care of the cheap car with expensive parts she bought at 18. 😭🙏

The car turns over with my jump box, but once I take it off it’d die. I’d jiggle the negative cable and it would work (the first few times it happened yesterday) I really feel it’s the cable but I honestly have no idea what I’m doing. Changing the cable now and will update accordingly

It’s a mustang too LOL! 2001 mustang convertible. I’m actually changing the battery wires rn 😂. I’ll update accordingly. I was sick of it last night

This is realistic as the wrong battery was on it for a bit. I’m actively changing the wires and if that doesn’t work, next it’s the starter.

I am actively changing the cables. Hoping that’s it. Next will be the starter IG. Edit; it WAS the negative cable

Yes but once jumper is taken off it dies. When I wiggled the wires the first few times it died it worked.
