- 93 ka
- 5 speed

Car ran great. i started her right up, as normal. I parked for 8 hours, the i try to turn the car on, and BAM one click and everything in my car just died. no power to anything clock went out, so i know my "battery" died. Took it out, thinking i had left my fogs on, and re-charged my battery, tested it, it was good. returned to my car, install the battery, and it did it again. disconnect the battery for a few minutes reconnect it , I GET ALL MY POWER BACK, LIGHT WORKS CLOCK WORKS, EVERYTHING, but as soon as i try to start it, BAM ONE CLICK and the car loses everything again ??

honestly it sounds like a poor connection either at the battery or your main ground wire from the battery to the chassis.

when ur car draws alot of current it turns off.. like someone allready said check ur main ground on the engine... the pole's on the battery ... positive lead...theres a connection loose somewhere...

Agreed.

I had this same exact problem dude. It turned out to be a bad connection for a battery terminal.

Cool I just got back to my comp.. I forgot to mention ... LIKE A NOOB my battery in located in my trunk .. and the small wires connected to my + terminal are all bundled together in the front

silva.240 · 09-03-2011, 07:47 PM

definately bad grounds!!!! its easier to put a new wire between the battery and motor and another for the battery to chasis and remove that old corroded wire out the way
