This is based on after i watched your video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Tlg3JmgNSQ&ab_channel=2CarPros

I just paid a mechanic $60 (Canadian). He hooked up a scanner and said there were no error codes, but my battery charge was just a little down. If I take the cables off of the battery for a few minutes and reconnect them, the car will start. but i may or may not have functional windows, stereo, door locks and rear running lights. Air conditioning and environmental controls always work. I would appreciate any suggestions! Thank you!

Hi,

I would be happy to help, but I need a little more info. What prompts you to remove the battery cables? Does it refuse to start or what is happening?

As far as the items that may or may not work, what is done to allow them to begin working again?

Let me know.
