I went out this morning got in the car, turned the key and it was dead.
So I checked the battery terminals and they weren't all that tight, so I thought, maybe my battery died because they were lose and hadn't charged the battery in a while?
So I got a friend to give me a jump, and after 30 minutes connected! It wasn't any better.
So I got suspicious. The windows went up and down very slow. Like a VERYYY weak battery.
So I turned the key off and then to the Just before Turning over position, and low and behold, the clock got bright like normal, and the windows worked at a completely normal speed like a fully charged battery. So then I thought wonderful! Let's crank er' over.
As soon as I went to start it any and all dash lights went out, the clock went out, the windows went back to slow again until I turn the key of and on a few times and then it just brightens back up.
Please let me know any other information you need to assist you in answering the question.
Thank you.
Ok, So here's an update, I've been working on it all day, took the whole dash apart practically (all around the steering column and when I turn the key you can hear a clicking sound. Well I got to the clicking sound and it's near this huge relay looking thing called a Unit Flasher? Big grey box about 4" x 2" x 1"thick. There are 2 other relays with that one.
I have never even had a HINT of an issue or mis-start or dragging or sticking or anything with the starter.
