How old are the batteries? You never change just one, waste of time. Take 'em both to somewhere that will check them and not cheat you. I've always sort of trusted Sears for the testing but will not buy the battery from them no matter what they say. You have to clear things up a little bit for us here. Very sketchy information you've given us to work with. What steel is not turning, the starter? Tongue in cheek that was.

Have you tried jumpers? From a vehicle that is running and may have to run for a little while to put a little life in you old batteries. I can't really put in writing how to remove the batteries. Pretty simple though. Just a couple of bolts hold them both in. See if a jump does any good, if so, drive it somewhere where they can be properly load tested. Where are you? Cold weather conditions?
