Nah, dont think its the batt, everything is working fine, engine dont turn over...
Got her on the tow truck and the guy turned the key to put the elec window back up, and guess what... She started.... :WTF: Made me look like a fool, lol, I'm just happy she's going again, but its not the 1st time its happened, and prob not the last so I need to get it sorted before I go on any long trip ;)

Hey, it was worth the ask :P
Also, i was just thinking, it may have something to do with the immobiliser. I remember Dan (Abraxas) having problems with his.

HEY I had the same problem exact time last year.
My Battery was the original and doing all the tricks it still would no go, because the cell in the battery collapsed I found out. So all it took was a new battery. I hope thats all you find wrong. Well the burnt head lamp drama is still on going. My panel beater is trying to go through insurance because for two new head lamps it will cost close to $3000.00. I have my fingers crossed if it works out. |
