Default Re: Electrical Problem

Zip, there is simply no way to make sense of what he's saying:

Battery dead, put charger on, brought car to life security system was not alive when he opened the door, so it did it's job and alarmed.


Disconnected it and alarm silenced.
Makes sense, see above.

put a charger on and it would not work until I disconnected the ground.
No idea what he is saying. This contradicts what he said above.

Battery is fully charged,
I assume he used a voltmeter to verify this but who knows?

but still is not allowing any power to the car.
Again, not clear what he means. WHAT is not allowing power to the car? If the battery is charged and things are still dead, he could have blown the 200 amp fuse buy HOW?


People post here like we are standing over their shoulder watching them. I wish they'd be CLEAR, concise and use paragraphs instead of post like they are sending a text to their kid. Such a waste of time for a simple problem.
