NOT A LOT OF INFO?

I'LL WING IT

THIS SHOULDN'T HURT A THING

INSURE YOUR BATTERY IS GOOD (CHECK THE ALTERNATOR TOO)

IF THE BATTERY IS NOT, TAKE THE BATTERY CABLES LOOSE---CHARGE IT/ OR REPLACE IT---THEN HOOK IT BACK UP

IF THE BATTERY IS FINE---TAKE THE NEG CABLE LOOSE---WAIT A FEW---HOOK IT BACK UP. THE COMPUTER NEEDS TO "SENSE" A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY

. IF RECENTLY IT RAN DOWN. LEFT LIGHTS ON. ALTERNATOR BAD. ETC. AND YOU JUMPED IT OFF (OR MAYBE THIS MAY BE THE INITIAL SIGN OF IT NOT BEING CHARGED). THE COMPUTER MAY STILL BE "SENSING" THE LOW VOLTAGE

. THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE NEED TO HAVE A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY AND THE NEG CABLE REMOVED. RESETS THE COMPUTER

LEMME KNOW IF THIS HELPED
