I mean take it in and have it tested on a testing machine, not sticking it on a batter charger. My bad battery had full, correct voltage according to the multimeter.

 

Yeah, having the battery load tested would be the best for confirming/eliminating the battery. Most autoparts stores will test them for free, and if you want one yourself, Harbor Freight sells them pretty cheaply.

 

I heard a horn at one of my old carshows it plays darth vadors sayings and his breathing like he does. Also might get the general lee horn. Im pretty sure that it was my horn shorting out seeing its been shorting out for sometime and ever since my husband hooked it back up I have had a short now I dont. Not the battery husband has that tester also from harbor freight. My optima is an awesome shape fully charged and so.

 

Well my sxt just did what she did on friday and took her to autozone and all the problem was something my husband replaced 4 months ago a cam shaft sensor not the battery or a short of anykind. Will be putting it in tommorrow morning and I cant wait to have her fully running again.

 

glad it was nothing major!

 

For now still worried everytime I drive her it could be her last seeing shes got more miles than I ever wanted her to have on now 182,000 almost.

 

Well my sxt had the same problem and when I went to autozone the 1st time the guy just told me it was my cam shaft sensor did not tell me it could be my plugs and wires. Well I did not need a sensor it was the plugs and wires. The engine light went off right after I changed the plugs and wires and she has her full power back . Its been over 30thousand miles for the plugs and like 2 or 3 yrs for the wires.

 

I guess you now know the answer to your own question you asked in the spark plug thread, huh?

Yeah I had some plugs that I had for backups and the ones I changed still looked pretty good but wanted to make sure she did not do what she has done the last two weeks. I think she just needed wires and not plugs thats what my husband thought also seeing I have had the msd wires for way to long. I got them just for the color which is weird and went back to my mopars seeing they were like new.

 

Performance parts like that perform better, but at the cost of longevity. Goes for a lot of things like that.
