Went to work today and when it was time to leave. The car would not start. When i would take the keys out the dash lights would all still be lit up. When i disconnect the negative cable and reconnect it a wierd clicking noises happen right behind the battery. And the dash lights will all illuminate w/o the keys in the ignition. THis all happend after this ice storm we just had in South Jersey.

someoen please help

 

What's up with all these electrical problems I keep hearing?? And most of them do happen when it's snowing or cold out.

 

Is the fuse blown by the positive battery terminal? The fuseable link on the battery cable?

 

I would check the battery, its probably dead, the clicks you hear when you connect your neg. back its normal. Try to use jumping cables

 

Sounds like you have a bad battery. Get a jump, and drive to autozone or the like.

 

if its a bad battery... how come the car stays running once i take the key out.. and after i stall it off. disconnet the battery, reconnect it and the lights on the dash come on w/ no key in the ignition.

 

i cant even start the car now cause the light on the dash are lit w/o the key and i go to start it and it will turn but not fire over.

 

and ill take the key out, everything will shut off on the dash. the car keeps running. i put the car into reverse gear and it shuts off.

 

There are faulty ignition switches. Try this, use the SPARE KEY, and see if it still does it. SERIOUSLY.

 

Sounds like a bad cell in your battery.

 

nope didnt work.. when i walked out into the garage all the dash lights were on though

 

Sounds like a short somewhere. Wish I could help more.

 

im gonna let it dry out over night in the garage and see if that works.

 

sounds like you need a mechanic and a test light. you have a short somewhere in the system. you have any after market electronics installed lately?

 

Staying on with the key removed? Sounds like you have a turbo timer... The car is shorting out somewhere on the body.
