Science Abuse Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 96 tbird 4.6 auto, drove car last night, ran fine. parked it. freezing rain all day, car covered in ice, I gout to start it up. -open the door: dome light comes on -insert key, all is normal, ding ding ding -turn key, first click: all the lights flash up, you hear the fuel pump turn on, everything is normal. -turn key to ignite the car, you hear the starter try to turn the engine then EVERYTHING shuts off, absolutely no juice to anything in the car, like ignition makes the battery dissapear. This is my only car, and I realy need to get to Wendies for food, so I am quite pissed. the heck is going on? Battery is hooked up, grounded and all. Flashlight inspection reveils no visible top side wiring problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridenred27 Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 sounds like you have a bad or loose connection. check the battary voltage first. if good follow battary leads from battary through to the starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slow4now Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Turn on your headlights, if they are a lot more dim than usual you have a bad battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
