Drove my 92 stock XJ this morning, ran great.
Did some regular maintenance stuff:
added some oil
checked fluids, air cleaner
checked and replaced distributor cap and rotor
applied some anti-corrosion grease to the battery terminals.
After that, the engine would crank but not start.
Then after three cranks, I just get a clicking noise and nothing else.
Is my battery dead or is it something else?
The battery is at least 6 years old, and last winter was tested as holding no more than 9.5 amps. After I cut the cables and put new terminals on, the battery was able to hold 11 amps, but no more.
The lights work, but I have no idea if they are dim or not.
I can test this.
If it is the battery, and I need to replace it, are there brands or stores that people recommend or suggest that I avoid?
