No crank, no start?

Hi,

Does anything electrical work? You mentioned completely dead. If nothing is working, we need to check the battery terminals to confirm they are in good condition and tight. If they are, I need you to take a test light, multimeter, or voltmeter and check to see if the battery has power and isn't fully drained.

If the battery is still charged, open the fuse box under the hood and check any of the fuses to see if there is power to them.

Here is a link that explains how that is done:

If you find no power to anything, remove the battery and return it to where it was purchased and have them load test it.

Let me know what you find,

Joe

Hi,

As far as a power drain, that is a very good possibility. To determine what is happening, we need to do the following.

First, we need to start at the power source, the battery. If possible, remove the battery and take it to a place like Autozone. Have them charge and test the battery for you. They do it free of charge.

If the battery is good, return it to the vehicle. Connect the positive cable first and then the negative. Make certain the terminals are clean and tight.

Since the lights are flickering, we need to check if the alternator is doing its job. Follow this link. All you need is a voltmeter or multimeter.

Get to this point and let me know what you find. If you have additional questions, let me know.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

Thanks for the update. That certainly could have been the electrical draw. I'm glad it has been working since you disconnected it.

Regardless, take care of yourself, and feel free to come back anytime in the future.
