Okay. I get it.

litheraI get it. I don't need anything else. I needed to let myself break down and cry.
I get it.
Next time, please, please, don't give me the final clue by having my car die, okay?
I mean... Come on.
It is better than some things but I would have thought all of the stupidity happening at work, the cold that just won't go away and the other things that I'm just not mentioning out loud, but you know them, were enough.
Nope. Okay.
I got it.
And yes, I know that my life isn't that bad.
I'm just really angry at myself and I feel stupid and helpless.
I hate that.
Sean's going to help, since he has AAA and I have yet to actually really thank him for that. I've been too busy crying.
God, I suck.
(No. I know I don't, I'm just frustrated and ... this is how I deal with that. And yeah, I know there are lots of people with it worse and that's why I try not to complain about things anywhere but right now I'm feeling pretty freaking miserable. So... forgive me. This once. Please. Thanks.)
So, TracerX died in the Albertson's parking lot. I think something happened with the electrical system as the car simply would not turn over but for the first attempt after that, I still had lights and even later than that, the seat belts did their best to move. I am hoping it is something simple like a blown fuse or... I don't know... Something.
Right now, I just don't want to really think about it but... well.. I can't really do that, now can I?

Date: 2005-01-18 04:14 pm (UTC)If you have a little rerr rerr rerr at first, and then the seat belt thingies were slow later, my guess is it's a battery or alternator. ($100 or so to fix, and you could do it yourself if you have the mind to)
If it was just "click", then my guess is starter or something else. ($100 or much more).
My first suggestion (to prevent massive spending of money) - take the battery out (which is super easy if you have the proper size wrench) and take it to Shucks to get it tested. They'll do it for free and it will eliminate the most obvious problem. (And new batter is relatively inexpensive - $50 to $100)
*hug* good luck dearie! And if you need any sort of help, let me know.

Date: 2005-01-18 04:23 pm (UTC)Tonight Kris and I are going to see if it just needs more juice and see if that helps at all and if that doesn't help, than Sean has AAA and we're going to get it taken in somewhere.
As for help... Well, I could really use a few hugs and someone to help me not feel like a stressed out wreck because of this but... We take what we can.

Date: 2005-01-18 06:47 pm (UTC)There is nothing to forgive for you having some feelings m'dear. And I can't really recall the last time you complained about... well anything. Except the occasionally crappy movie. :) Shit happens, sometimes folk can just use some care and support from their friends.
The solenoid is annother element of the electrical system that can be bad and cause the batery/ starter combo to go out. I seem to remeber my folks having to deal with this.
I found this (http://www.autoeducation.com/autoshop101/electrical.htm), if it helps. /shrug/ It all sounded very familiar to me, my batery having gone out right after Christmas. :/
