chris stiles Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Ok so I took at my dashboard to fill; bevel and re paint and its been awhile since I started up my z, so it was pretty dead. After reconnecting all my wires that were involved with the dash vooowalah! It started up for about 20 seconds And choked out. Now it seems when I connect the jumper cables the ground wire gets no spark. Its definitley not the cables Trust me I almost lost an eyebrow. Any ideas on what blew out?

Tony D Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 What does 'choked out' mean? What does 'vooowala' mean? Did something blow up making that noise? Sparks at the ground wire mean it's charging a dead battery or at least one with voltage potential difference from the jumper battery. No 'spark' may or may not mean anything. Buy a multimeter, take some readings, and tell us where you are finding power... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
