Inrevinc Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Hi, We've had our first major snowstorm here. Last night before going to bed i used my remote starter to get the car working for a few minutes then shut it down, to make sure everything was fine. This morning car won't start. I hear this constant ticking under the hood. If i get in the car and hit the brake, it stops. When i turn the key, Most of the power won't show, tried headlight they won't turn on. When i try to start it, nothing happens, all I hear is this small electric motor going off. Now I don't remember last time i had this problem, is it the starter that's screwed? alternator or just a plain case of dead battery?

Or if there is alot of corrosion it can drain the battery. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inrevinc Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 Hmmm actually i think i figured the problem out. The remote starter starts the car which has the headlights on auto, but when it shuts off the headlights don't. I tried it again today, headlights never turned off unless I was shutting it down using the key. Last night i tested it and turned it off using the remote and went to bed, the headlights probably drained the battery in my sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
