Asked by kbulllockAnswer
So does it crank no start or no crank no start?
Have the battery and alternator load tested-start here
the car does not crank only thing i hear now is a metallic clatter sounds like it may be coming from the starter but before i took off the pos it only sounded like a low battery and would start if i charged it
Either you have a bad battery and connections or starter motor-
If the starter is inop i would make sure the battery cables are clean and tight.Also make sure the battery tests good and is fully charged.
the battery tests good, i was wondering if there is a way to see if the computer is working without a tester obd2 it seemed to be an alternator problem(as it sounded funny) I think i damaged something as the problem seems totally different now
Have you checked all the fuses?A obd2 code reader would be nice to see if it linked to the ecm.
