Question
Hi, All of a sudden, my cars interior lights started going dim, the air bag light came on every few seconds, and my windshield wipers were slow then stopped half way. Then the car would not start. When I got out of the car, the cars interior light went bright again but I have not tried to start it again.

Answer
Hi Kina -

It appears you may have a loose or poor connection to the battery, or surrounding wires. Remove both battery terminals and clean them thoroughly. If they have acid residue on them, soak it in a solution of baking soda and water, then dry and sand the contact surfaces. Also check the battery cable connection at the terminals, in addition to the terminal connection to the battery. Ensure all are tight, clean and secure.

Hope this helps -
