sounds like the alternator quit charging.then you were running straight from the battery,then the battery drained.the more things you turned on,the faster the battery drained.lucky to make it home!
12 hours later it acted as if nothing happened? SAFEST bet , so you are less likely to get stranded , would be to have the battery and charging system TESTED PROFESSIONALLY (not autozone parking lot stuff!)... Be sure to tell them exactly what you posted here , so they have some idea of symptoms!!
Thank You
Thank you, that's what I thought? Would it crank again and run good 12 hours later?
it may start and may not.if this is what is wrong with the car,then the battery will need to be charged with a battery charger until fully charged.then it's gonna drain again and STRAND you somewhere!best to either take it straight to a repair shop or take the alternator off your self,take it to have it tested.if it test bad(and it probably will be)replace it,and have the battery tested/charged also. if you continue driving it like it is,you're gonna be on the side of a road/interstate,or an accident somewhere,because it will cut off and you won't have much if any control of it!
Thank You, I'll do that.
