If you re having to boost your car after it s been parked overnight but not again while you use it for the day your battery probably isn t the problem.

In this situation you might think you need to replace your battery but that s probably not the case at all.

A dying fading car battery means low voltage. If the battery is totally dead you won t hear a chime or see the dome light at all. If you replace the battery and the problem persists the problem may be with the door wiring. No dome light when opening the door or no door chime with keys inserted.
