Something happened that seems like a strange coincidence and I want to know if it's actually related before I just write it off as bad timing, I took my Civic in last week to get the AC recharged since it wasn't blowing cold enough anymore, and literally two days after that service my car wouldn't start one morning, just the typical weak clicking sound that points toward the battery, does anyone know if AC servicing could somehow have contributed to this, like maybe something got disconnected and not properly reconnected during that work, or is this genuinely just an unfortunate coincidence where the battery was already on its way out regardless of what other service I had done around the same time, I don't want to assume the AC shop did something wrong if this is actually unrelated, but the timing feels suspicious enough that I wanted to ask before just moving on and getting a new battery without at least considering whether something else might be going on, while trying to sort out my options I found a Honda battery replacement workshop in Industrial Area 11 trusted and nearby which seems like a good option regardless of what caused this, but I'm still curious if anyone else has experienced something similar where one type of service seemed to trigger an unrelated system issue shortly afterward, has anyone had a battery die shortly after other unrelated maintenance and later found out there was actually a connection, like a loose connection being bumped during other work, or is this typically just something people naturally assume is connected when it's really just an unfortunate coincidence in timing, I don't want to go back to the AC shop accusing them of something if this is honestly unrelated, but I also don't want to ignore a legitimate possibility if there's a reasonable chance the two things are actually connected, so if anyone has insight into whether this kind of coincidental timing is common or if I should actually be asking more questions, I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts.
