It is the black wire about the red power wire to the starter, it can pop off from a hard shift or bump in the road.

Still hunting for the ghost

.. wire sounds very logical as my LICP is touching the starter wire

As for the ticking sound .. 2 suspects now .. either the accessory belt damper thats dying or my ACD clutchpack

.. hopefully the cheaper one ..

Good luck with the battery.

NOTHING!! Whats going on with the car?

I had the same exact problem with my car. No issues intill on start! It is the battery. I was greakin out till my friends and I were testing all the electrical lines and it was the battery. The battery doesnt have enough power to crank the car just the excecories! Wait for a week the battery wont even have enough power to turn the radio on! I feel the pain. I got a Braile battery! 2 year warrenty!
