thanks Jimmy i got it all done...the reason i got a new battery is because my car wouldnt start this morning..so i figured it was the battery since it was about time to replace one. after i replaced the battey it still woudnt start..so i just waited a few moments and then tried to start it..finally it did..is this normal or do you know if something else was causing this problem..i dont want to be stranded anywhere..
