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.

Thanks Cap'n. I will look there first.
