Electrical Problems.....
Monday, November 26, 2007 12:09 PM
This will take a few to explain, sorry parts of it are boring. I have a stock '05 cav, 4dr with 73k miles. The other day it almost didn't start, so I was betting on an almost dead battery. I trickle charged it over night at 2amps. Drove to work the next day & on my way home I made a pit stop at a mini mart, got back in & started the car. I noticed my fuel gage was indicating way past full & pointing at 3 o'clock position - everything else normal - got home, shut her down and fuel gage indicated 3/4 full with no power turned on. The next day I tried to start her & it was dead... click click click. I put the batt charger on it & set it to crank, tried to start it again & only got fast clicking sound from starter, all dash cluster lights going nuts & a bad electrical humming noise.

1. any ideas or suggestions ?
2. can someone email me some wiring prints to mcojettech@yahoo.com
3. does anyone know the 2 pins to jump out on the diagnostic port to get the codes out. ?

Thanks in advance.

1. Possibly a bad battery or alternator
2. Not at the moment
3. This only works on OBD-1 vehicles, that trick stopped working on cars made in 1995 and newer.
