A few days after driving my car and leaving it in the garage overnight was a problem because next morning it wouldn't start? I went to Sears and bought a volmeter and checked for battery drains I didn't find anything . I insisted checking the car untill I noticed that the fuse on postive terminal was blown thats was why the alternator was not charging the battery up I ordered one from the dealer and replace it. The battery was dead I placed it on the trickle charger and charged it at 2amp untill it said 100% full now I put the battery back in the car , when I turn the igniton I hear a click click click click click sound and the motor does even turn what can it be I'm fed up with this crap.

** note I've checked every single fuse in the car and they are good

 

new battery

 

but why when i put in on the carger read 100 full . Also, If I check it with my volmeter it read 13 volts?

 

Had this same problem. I bought an optima and ive been good for months now

 

If this got you that fed up id rethink the fully built project you have going on..

As far as the click it may be the starter binding.. Roll it in gear a little to move the flywheel.. Check starter to make sure it has good connection.. Its probably not that, your overlooking something battery / fuse related if its clicking.. Id say new battery honestly..

Make sure your terminals are tight. I had the same problem. Lights, radio and everything else worked, then when I tried to start all I got was the click of death. Pulled my hair out til I traced it to a stupid loose terminal.

BTW- If I let my car sit for more than a week the battery goes dead. I bought a new battery and it still does it. WTF

 

I wanted to build my car my self but way to much work for a lazy guy like me. Thats why i pay to have thing done man dont have the patience

 

Thanks for helping man . I've checked the terminal and they were tight enough . About your battery going bad if you leave the car more than a week parked is because mall batterys have no reserve charge in it. go to sears and buy a battery terminal that will take care of your battery when you know your car will be parked for a while

 

sounds like a simple fix...just pop in a new battery. what brand battery did you have in there originally?

 

here is a pic of the battery . I got it from a local shop near my house. I will be getting an oddyssey tomorrow first thing in the morning

 

I think you found your issue..

Mike

 

This thread is priceless...

 

lmao I know Mike ...you recognize this POS battery ? lol

 

Life is tough isn't it

 

If it is a straight clicking, and your current is good, my bet would be on the starter. Use your meter to see if there is current being delivered to the starter, if there is, and you hear the clicking coming from that region. There is your problem.

Also, that battery looks...... interesting?

Time for a red top.
