Success! kind of...

Today, I cleaned the battery terminal on the 944, and tried starting it, and vrooom! it started right up! but after I started it a second time to move it out of the garage, it gave me a waaa-waa pause... vrooom.

Then as I drove it around the block (ok, more like 20 blocks...), the battery light came on. I'm now afraid I didn't need a starter at all, and that I need an alternator.

Next steps: make sure the belt isn't loose, check the alternator.
