Rikos Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Did it just die as though it had been turned off or did it splutter and then die? Could be a bad battery, does it do it everytime while driving after a while or has it only do it once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
