Purple Jrank Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 So I have been working on the custom install of a head unit into my 05 LGT wagon based on the write-up LLBean did.I finished the majority of the electrical work (i.e. soldering the circuit board and harnesses together), and was testing how it worked and fit in the car. I plugged the circuit board/tuner and the HU in and turned the key, and everything worked fine. However, my car won't start now. I can turn on the electronics in the car, but when I go to start it, nothing happens. I hear a slight clicking but nothing mechanical goes. I have been checking some of the fuses in the box above the hood unlock, but I haven't found one that was bad? Any ideas what I did and what is wrong? I need this fixed ASAP so any help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Jrank Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think the battery is fine, the car won't even try to crank. Is it possible the car's computer thinks it isn't in park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No DRFT Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Did you pull the neg. battery cable before attempting to do all the electrical work? Check fuses I have no control over drippie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Jrank Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 I may have forgotten to do it while I was testing it. However, I checked all of the fuses, an not one of them was burnt out. I would have thought that either the battery fuse or the radio/climate control fuses would have been burnt out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Jrank Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 Never mind, I just found out it was a bad battery, which is weird because the voltage reading was fine after I jumpstarted it, but all of the cells were bad when I tested the specific gravity.

No DRFT Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Yep, I knew it! Glad you got it worked out. I have no control over drippie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
