the 8' was stored over winter and battery was pretty much dead.
Bought a new battery and car didnt seem to wanna start. All I heard was a click.
I had my friend boost my car up had it run for about 15-20 minutes.
My baby 8' showed signs of dying at times, and finally lost power after reving a couple times. Now when I turn the key I dont even get a click. Interior lights work. Windows are not rolling up, and information display is not working. I then replaced the battery terminals because they looked so corroated. Then tried to start and get the same problem.

help please?

also want to add. I did hook the battery up backward even for a second!
I found a blown fuse! -_-"
The main fuse. (under the hood)

Yikes... Replace your fuses, reset the computers...

The last time A car came to my shop from hooking the batt. up reversed, ALSO had a blown main fuse.... And the PCM was fried. however, pcms have an 8 year 80k mile FEDERAL warranty(emissions warranty). as long as you replace the fuse, and don't tell the dealer what you did... you may get a free one. just tell them it died and no longer would start or crank.


ALSO this thread is in the WRONG section.
