The first cold night here caused my car to not start the next morning. I had to roll-start it. This happened for about 2 more days. I eventually had the battery checked. It was fine. I haven't had any problems getting it started since then. Just tonight though, I was sitting idle for about 5 minutes with my headlights on (including brights), and my battery light in the gauge cluster started to flicker on and off. I had been noticing that my gauges and headlights were a lot dimmer than normal. I revved the engine up, and the problem was solved. The idle isn't below the normal operating idle, and I had the alternator replaced around a year ago.
