Mom has a '03 Acura MDX. When driven thru a puddle, the battery light comes on and car will cut off. Also at times won't even turn over but have full power. When jumped, starts right up. Battery tests good.Happened this morning when raining.Sounds like a short or bad connection to me. Can you help ?

  how did you test the battery. if you jumped the car and it started then it is a battery issue. i would have the system re checked.

  Mom took battery to advance auto to get a new one. They put old one on machine and tested good,so she didn't get new one.Now i'm thinking bad/corroded battery cables.What about water/puddle situation ?
