However, something even weirder happened in the duration from this morning to this afternoon. Here's the story:-The lights were permanently on last night and I had no idea what to do so I just left it on. To my surprise, the car could still start in the morning. Then, I travelled from Cheras to Damansara Intan. From Damansara Intan, I travelled to Damansara Uptown. After leaving the car engine off for 20 minutes or so (I forgot to check if the lights were permanently on), the car won't start. Normal routine, got my friend to jumpstart the car for me. After that, it was smooth sailing all the way.Questions:-1) How on earth did the car start with the lights permanently on the whole night?2) In connection to question 1), why, in the name of all that is holy and pure, did the car fail to start after only 20 minutes when I turned off the engine in Damansara Uptown?When the car failed to start, I observed the following:-1) With the key in the ignition and turned on, all the normal lights were on ie: parking light, engine oil light, battery light etc. - this could mean that the battery is NOT flat.2) During the jumpstart, the car failed to start via jumpstarting from the battery (from the car trunk). I could only start when connecting the cables to the front of the car (under the hood).However, when I reached home, I noticed that the battery wires were loose. ARRGHHH I'm really confused! :102:</blockquote>
