Hello,

I have a 2001 Pontiac GrandAM GT, and there appears to be a serious
problem with it. It started the other day; when I went to start the
car, it kept stalling; so I checked and the battery was dead. After
replacing it with one of the same line (75 series), it worked fine. I
made my regular trips (around 160 miles roundtrip), stopped frequently,
etc without incident. After coming home, I went to start it a few hours
later, and everything had completely died. There were no interior
lights; no horn; no external lights; and when I turned the key in the
ignition, there was no sound at all. After checking the battery, it
registered as being good with no charging problems. I was wondering if
anyone here knew what the problem might be, and how to resolve it? I'd
like to get some idea of what to expect if I have to call for it to be
towed to my local automotive center.

Thanks in advance

Check the cables and the ground.

There are only a few things that can kill a battery like that. The Horn and
the Starter both draw tons of current. go have your starter checked then if
it is ok disconnect the horn. charge the battery in between each of these.
Most likely it is the starter.

I assume you ran a volt meter on the battery when the engine is running. I
assume you got something like 13.8 volts. If the voltage is low something is
shorting the circuit or the alternator is toast. If you keep running like
this the alternator will eventually burn up/
