Battery Help.
I bought an rx-7 93 recently and it just so happens, ive been getting problems...
for one, the battery is acting up.
this has been the second time i couldnt even start the car. Last time, i jump start my car and let the car run for about 15 min. i spent about a good 3 to 4 times restarting and shutting off my computer just to make sure my battery was fine.
sometimes, i have to pump my brake when i shut off my car to get the brake lights to turn off. is that normal?
but even when i double checked my brake lights being off before i leave my car, my car did not start in the morning again!
when someone checked under my hood, they told me the battery i have in it is not for the car. are there certain types of battery that i need for this specific car? i also dont have a battery tray. the last owner replaced the battery and his tray was dead. where could i get a new one?
please help ;'[..

as for the battery tray, il definitly check out the sales section.
battery is labeled "economy." i dont know, but personally, that doesnt sound so brand name nor efficient for a car like an rx7. as i read that i had a feeling my previous owner didnt know about an rx7 too much or deliberately replaced a good battery with a poor one right before sale...

look up at your brake pedal near the top and you will see the switch witch looks like a little box with a plastic rod sticking out with your finger push in the rod a few times and see if the rod gets stuck.
