Okay, I had my battery zipped tied to the terminal. The zip ties broke the battery flew forward in hood and my car just cut off. Is it the battery or alternator. The lights all work it just will not crank. I charged the battery still nothing.

Good morning.

Do you mean the terminals are zipped tied to the battery?

Can you post a picture of what you see?

Haha, no I am sorry I wrote that so wrong, lol. The battery itself was zipped tied down not terminals.

Okay, thanks.

Lets start with battery voltage. Can you check the voltage with a voltmeter to be sure we have enough power?
