Need help...dont know what is wrong

527 Views 5 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  mytmous
A couple days ago, i went to start my car and it wouldnt start. The lights wouldnt even turn on. So I thought that my battery was dead. I push started the car and drove it home. The next day, I get out the battery charger and hook it up and it reads that the battery is fully charged.

I am completely lost?!?!?! I have no clue what is wrong. The car wont turn over, no lights will turn on. The sound when you have your key in the ignition doesnt even make a noise.

Any help would be great. Thanks

Check the ground wire and terminals on your battery.
also check your alternator fuses/relays near the battery...same thing happened to my alternator fuse and thats all it was...
I had the same problem in the wife's Saturn and it turned out to be the positive terminal. Check all your leads and ground. Do not forget about the alternator too.

Take care,

I just went through this too.

I replaced the neg battery terminal and reshapped the positive.

they where both so loose you could turn them back and forth.
the first time it happened I was stuck in a church parking lot, and it was raining, I would wiggle the pos. (had the door open) here it start dinging.

and sometimes(about 4 times) I would get lights and all , but when I turned the key all the lights went out, and the radio time reset.

finally got it to start and drove home and replaced the terminals.
