Hi

I need to get this thing to a shop but first need to get it started. New Optima battery. Yet no lights, no ignition, no anything. Like it's dead. But the battery is fully charged and new. What gives?

Thanks in advance.

 

@MikesJCW ,

Double check your grounding strap for any corrosions and also check the fusable link on the positive cable for breakage

 

Thank you sir!

 

Does you car have the IBS system cable.........

 

Hi Yoshimura

no it does not. It seemed that it was the negative ground cable. It was not seated on the negative post of the battery correctly so it was not making full contact. Should I get an IBS cable?

 

Naaaaah......you good glad you got it figured out......

 

What else is wrong with the car

 

@MikesJCW ,

Way to go Mike.......All it needs was a simple fix....great job!
