at first the car wouldnt crank, lights were dim, automatic locks wouldnt even work. i had someone help me get a jump but it didnt work, after 20 mins of charging the car would at least try to start but wouldnt. so we get a new battery thinking that will fix things but the car still wont start although now all the interior electronics work just fine, doors lock, etc..a friend whos more mechanically inclined than i takes a look at it and bypasses the starter with a screwdriver. the engine turned over but still wouldnt catch. he checked all the fuses and relays he could without a power reader and is pretty sure those arent it. hes stumped and im stumped
