View Full Version : Car has no power at all (after leaving the HID's on)

before installing my HID's, my car ran perfectly fine. Everything was in working order.


I correctly installed my HID's and left my headlights on for some time for it to burn into the right color, but an emergency came up, and I had to left forgetting that I had left the headlights on.

I'm back a couple of hours later, and the battery has died.

Absolutely nothing works in the car, nothing electrical.

I tried to jump start it, and it didn't start the car.

I tried to clutch start it, it would jump a little, but the car still wouldn't start.

I checked my fuses, every thing was intact.

Nothing at all powers on, when I insert my key (while trying to jump start the car), there are no clicks, no relays, nothing...

Any idea on how to get my car running again?

Is it a new battery ? If so. Then get you alternator checked.

Is this for real? Dead battery is dead. Can't jump or charcge if killed completely.

Battery has dead cells, seems like alternator works because car ran. Buy another battery. This is a pointless thread.

Short to ground in your 'correctly installed' HID wiring causing your battery to completely drain.
