Dead 9-3ss... Posted by felchi80 [Email] (#911) [Profile/Gallery] (more from felchi80) on Sat, 12 Jan 2013 03:06:28 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
So here's the thing. I'm buying a dead 2003 9-3 for cheap that I would like to revive.
Here's the symptom. Everything seems dead except the illuminated door lock switches and the interior lights. Even the dash/sid does not light up. The key is stuck at the ignition switch. The guy said he didn't drive it for a few months and one day he tried to start it and failed and suddenly everything went dead with the key stuck in it.
My guess is that the battery got drained that's why it couldn't start the car. But there was enough juice to unlock the steering wheel (thank god). Then somehow it just died. Something got fried? Loose wiring?
I tried plugging in my tech2. But there was no communication at all with anything. Can't even do a DTE read.
Any input will be appreciated regarding this issue.
Another thing which I don't know if it would be related. The car was accidented and repaired front end. Looks like radiator support was replaced. Maybe something came loose over there?
Thank you.
Phil
