dattson510 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Car wouldn't start. No electric what so ever. Not even lights. Replaced the ignition. Full barrel. The car was stolen at one point and the wires had been hacked and refitted with new connectors. Replaced the alternator. Replaced the battery. Replaced the fusible link and it started right up. Took it for a drive and parked it. This isn't my daily so it sat for about 2 weeks. When it was time to move it the problem was the same. No electric. Came back to it later and decided to replace the negative battery cable. The old one was pretty crappy. Still nothing. Stumped. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 You said you let it sit for two weeks... maybe the battery is dead. If you had to replace a bunch of messed up wiring after a theft, I bet you have a power drain somewhere. Hook your car up to a charger or swap in the battery from your daily and see if it cranks over. If it does, you have a draw that is killing your battery when you let it sit. Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 ^^^^^^^^^ This ^^^^^^^^^^^ I have a similar problem with my Goon and it's driving me crazy. Ill go a + 1 on the yet to be identified power drain. Quote Link to comment
dattson510 Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I swapped out the battery from my daily and the still nothing. The battery is good. Even put the battery back in the daily and took a drive after. :D Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Then you for sure have a ground somewhere. I would look at all the items that you recently replaced. Something may have come loose or it may be wiring up incorrectly. Id look at all the fuses and that fusible link first. Quote Link to comment

You can't see 12 volts so you need a lamp to tell you it's there. 1 Quote Link to comment
