(IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) it's been sitting. The engine has been out. Throw it back together and put a new battery in. Turn on the key. Alt light flashes like it's tied to the emergency flasher . No power to the starter. (works just fine if jump it-- the starter) Headlights do not come on nor come up but the rest of the lights work. let's start with why the alt light is freaking out.. Why? No signs of rodent activity.
I'm beginning to really hate this car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) |

aAAAuuuhhh The starter ws easy The solenoid is not getting energized by the ignition switch. The spastic Alt light has me intriuged. I suspect the cause of that is at the root of my problems. But seriously, it's around 110 in my garage so further action will have to wait till early tomorrow morn.
