Weird Electrical problem?

[SpoolN]

Went to the gas station today and filled my car up. When I went to leave my car would not start at all. I was gettin no battery power at all even when the key was in the 2 or 3 positioin. The car was acting like there was no battery in the car at all. I popped the hood checked all fuses check battery connections nothing. Car stayed like this for about 10 mins. Then out of no where i opend my door and noticed that my dome light came on and the car started right up??????? Could this bad engine grounds. If so where are they located?

This could be caused by corrosion beween the battery posts and the terminals.

They could look ok from the outside, and still be corroded enough to cause this problem. A quicky clean up with a battery brush may be all that's required.

You didn't have the hood open while you filled the tank did you? Your tears from the high prices cry: ) may have fallen on the battery terminals, causing some connection issues...

Make sure the battery isn't shorting against the bottom of the hood or a strut bar. Keep a cover on the positive terminal, and the battery securely tied down.
