The last time I had my red six out, it gave me some trouble starting. I would turn the switch and nothing. No lights, nothing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I put a charger on the battery and an hour later it started right up. I parked him for a while and today the same thing happened. I pulled the Optima battery and had it tested and it was bad. $220.00 later I had a new Optima in the car, but still no power and no lights on the dash. Most probable cause? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Thanks for any ideas to make trouble shooting easier. |

Check the wires and connectors at the positive post of the battery. While you're at it, check the grounds (battery and transmission to body), too.
