The temperature has risen to above 60 and what does one want to do? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) their teeners and bikes or so it seems. So I go to start the teener and the battery is dead, time to get the optima I have been wanting to get. Got it, put it in, start it, and I WAS driving it. Turned a corner and then no turn signals, no tach, no brake lights, dash lights, etc. hmmm. Blown fuse. Look around can't find the problem, put a new fuse in and everything works! Take it out for a drive, turn a corner, lost everything again. Blown fuse again. sigh...
Go to start the motorcycle, a couple of cranks and click click. Charge battery, reinstall it, a couple of cranks, click, click. Order a new battery ($65 on the net, $120 locally (like the tweener it needs the poles reversed),get it, put it in, crank, crank, choke, crank crank, starts for a few seconds. crank, crank, starts for a few seconds, crank, crank, starts! Lasts about 10 secs and then stops. Now I notice I don't have any lights and there is a strong odor something is burning. sigh... They were stored in the same storage unit. I wonder if I had mice as local residents. I didn't see any droppings. Now I have to find the problem in both vehicles by next weekend or they will sit for three to five weeks while I recover from surgery and then they will still need to be fixed. At least the Boxster runs fine - it was in a different unit. Ever had one of those springs where you wish it was winter again? I am so mad I could (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blowup.gif) Mike |
