yeah it pained me to help joie out because I knew there'd be an army of dudes all up in here but i totally love seeing the look on people's faces when you smack the battery a few times and it magically makes their car work

12/20/2009 1:34:23 PM

^wut.
its those ugly ass fucking wheels. put the stock ones on (that are worth more money) and your problem is solved

12/20/2009 1:34:49 PM

I still think we should pull it by hand.

12/20/2009 1:35:01 PM

^^ you're right. we'll get right on that.

i was going to try and push it, but it's pretty close to the sebring.

12/20/2009 1:36:26 PM

Glad you got it figured out!

12/20/2009 1:38:01 PM

A van-full of TWWers can move that thing by hand.

12/20/2009 1:38:49 PM

i've got beer...

12/20/2009 1:39:16 PM

Except there's a Civic that's going to have it moved before we even get there

12/20/2009 1:50:14 PM

I'm here for the gangbang.

12/20/2009 1:51:15 PM

haha, well if zx can't do it with his truck/mechanical skills then just let me know

12/20/2009 1:51:32 PM

If ZX cant do it, it cant be done. He is the MacGuyver of cars.

12/20/2009 1:55:02 PM

it's done.

many thanks to zxappeal. nice fella.

12/20/2009 2:40:42 PM

uploading videos now

not too exciting

12/20/2009 2:45:51 PM

ibt"what was wrong with it?"

12/20/2009 3:04:34 PM

Ummm...there's definitely a parasitic drain somewhere, and I'd bet it is something with the body control circuit. I didn't pull all the relays to check their influence on the drain, but I did pull most of them and a few fuses too.

The drain is between 900 mA and 1.2 A...definitely much more than should be. There should only be a drain of around 30 mA (for controller/radio memories).

Cody...I'd pull the rest of the relays (including any in the dash fusebox) and check drains like I was with your multimeter if you're bored shitless and feel like screwing with it.

On another note...my dumb ass can't find my keys. I didn't drop 'em over there, did I?

12/20/2009 3:09:14 PM

NM...I got 'em.

12/20/2009 3:48:49 PM

zxappeal's looked at it.
codys friends have looked at it.

i may make another thread for more traffic.

1/3/2010 11:58:00 AM

yell at it with a firm voice
have d7freestyler mortal kombat it

so is the battery just straight-up gone?

[Edited on January 3, 2010 at 11:59 AM. Reason : om nom nom batteries]

1/3/2010 11:59:04 AM

the battery is good. cody took it out of the car last night so it wouldn't die.
it's at 11.5V this morning.
i think it's something like the starter or ignition or something.

1/3/2010 12:00:50 PM

i have a 1990 dodge 15 passenger van I use for my business. We've towed with it before. I swear my van is like a horse...it can pull anything with its size and v8 engine.

1/3/2010 12:01:57 PM

^we might need you

here's whats happening

1/3/2010 12:02:40 PM

carson and I can bring izzy over to help

her farts can make anything move

1/3/2010 12:11:56 PM

we're trying out something we read on there....

Quote :

"We have yet to ID something that causes the passlock system to think it is being stolen, and cuts off the fuel flow. The only work-around that seems to work every time is to wait one full hour and then try, and it always starts. But waiting one hour is not very practical 99% of the time. I read someplace that when it malfunctions, you turn the key to the "on" position, and wait a few minutes, till the "security" light on the dash goes out, then it should start. But, wouldn't you know it, I can't get it to malfunction, so I can't test that work-around. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks."

we're running out of options

1/3/2010 12:13:02 PM

pull harder

HARDER

NO GODDAMNIT DONT LAY DOWN

1/3/2010 12:13:25 PM

annnnndddd

its a no go

1/3/2010 12:14:07 PM

It's cold outside. You should just invite everyone over for an escalade bonfire.

1/3/2010 12:14:54 PM

Seriously, the body control module is pulling it down somehow. That's what I think. Nothing to do with the starter or alternator. That parasitic load keeps draining the battery.

1/3/2010 12:15:04 PM
