Battery/Alternator ???
2005 Accord LX with 24K miles.
Dead battery at lease thats whatI thought, son batteryjumped the car ,started fine butafter 5 miles of driving it completely died nothing on the instrument panel,no lights.
Now thinking alternator,jumped again but this time keeping the jumper cables on for 5
minutes thinking charge up the battery more till I get it home home, 9 miles. Made it home..
Wiil call the Honda dealer on Monday. Meanwhile what do you think it is?
Am I covered for this since the milage is so low ?
Do I have to pay to have this cartowed/carried to the dealer?
I did smell a plastic like smell earlier in the day, does that mean anything?

RE: Battery/Alternator ???
Sounds like alternator to me, because it wouldn't keep the battery charged.
Seems to me that would be covered by your 3yr/36kmiwarranty, but that's a good question to ask the dealer when you make the appointment.
Plastic burning smell probably means something, but if it's under warranty I'd simply tell them about it & let them deal with it.
