AAAK! Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Battery dead, Jumped car, Still don’t start ???, Savary ![]() ![]() |
DON'T TRY TO RUN THE CAR WITHOUT A BATTERY! Sorry for shouting. The battery serves an essential purpose in regulating the voltage. It is possible to damage the electronics this way.
Your best bet is to put in a battery, and find a way to charge it. I recommend you put a charger on the battery and give it a few hours, then try and start the car.
The engine didn't start when you went to jump it because you didn't have good electrical contact or good jumper cables. You said the engine turned over slowly - that tells me you had a voltage drop in the jumper cables, or they weren't connected well at either the 'good' car or the 'target' car. This can be due to wimpy cables (thin wire), or bad connections where you clamped on. Starting a car takes A LOT of current, and even the slightest bad connection will show up as a slow crank.
