Check battery for condition including load test. This guide will help and check the starter relay? Is the security light on?

I have a car I bought from a buy here pay here place with a starter interrupter on it. I replaced the heater core which required me to unplug this device to remove the dash. No with everything put back together the vehicle won't start. As soon as I reconnected the battery terminal the lights were continuously flashing rapidly and the wipers came on and the vehicle won't start or even turn over.

Recheck what you disconnected then try resetting your security system if no manual look online for your car on how to reset it

More than likely as long as you hooked it up right. You may have to call them to have them reset it.

My 2006 Torrent is having intermittent starting issues. It will start fine maybe twenty times, then all of the sudden it won't. What could be something I could check for?

Next time it refuses to start don't wait for it to make up its mind-do below immediately to determine if its fuel or spark problem

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if okay-check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
