Five&Dime Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 So other night i pulled in to get gas and my car dies..... had a friend come out to try and jump it. nothing happened. tow truck driver comes and hooks up his jumper cables and then shakes some wires around and all of the sudden i get power and drive it home. when i get home im sitting in my drive way about to park and when i shut off my head lights the car died and wouldnt start up again, then this morning i go out and it starts right up. i turn the car off. it doesnt start up once again!! i checked some ground wires and then it started up and i drove it to run a few errands today i got back to the house and clicked my headlights on then it died and wont start back up! could someone give me some trouble shooting ideas please!! its driving me crazy!!

banzai510(hainz) Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Ck the crimp at the starter. also the fusable link end. where it hookes to the starter lug. that feeds the fuse box. Replace the fuses maybe with new ones incase they are separating inside the glass/ends you ck the output volatage on the battery with a volt meter? I had a Z car where it would discharge at night and morning be dead. Come to find Out I was draining my batter with the heater lights on at night. Daytime the alternator pout out just enought juice to keep the batter charged. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 shakes some wires around and all of the sudden i get power One of the wires has a loose connection. Tighten them up especially * battery cable NEG to engine block * battery cable POS to starter * fusible link at battery to wiring harness 1 Quote Link to comment

Five&Dime Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 It was the fusible link! I fixed it all with some new connectors and a new wire! Thanks a lot ggzilla! You're the man! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 It's no ordinary wire. Best if replaced with the same thing. Quote Link to comment
