Default SC to the rescue

hey guys so this morning my mom wakes me up at 730am asking if i can help cause the car has a dead battery. (her camry) college kids like myself aren't happy about gettin out of bed before noon anyways, so this was rough. anyways i have to un-cover the SC and plug its battery in to jump start her 2000 camry. we're in MA and it gets brutally cold at night so probly enough to suck away her battery's power? the question here is does she need a new battery if its died twice from the cold?

you should puller her battery out of her car, and take it to get tested for free at AutoZone or Discount Auto.

then you'll get your answer.

If its not the battery.. AZ can also scan your the codes if there are problems that dont pull out the CEL

Cause i know maximas have that issue..Problems hides beneath the CEL,..

UPDATE! problem has been fixed!

here is the solution, cleaned the terminals off of pounds of dried corrosion, (white hard chunks) and guess what, car starts right up every time. no new battery needed, no CEL's,
