Alright, so, here’s a little back history for everyone. My dad installed a remote start into the car. It worked perfectly for a while, until one day it didn’t. So, it was taken to a mechanic’s shop where it sat for 3 months because the mechanic couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it. The best solution he could come up with was disconnecting the remote start and telling my dad that there was a smaller drain from the battery, but that it was nothing to worry about because the remote start was the biggest drain.
After getting it from the shop, it was driven once a week until I bought it. Now, it’s my daily driver. For the past month or so, I’ve been having to jump it because it wouldn’t start, and not because the battery was dead. It has a new battery and everything, I have had both the battery and the alternator tested, and they were good.
Yesterday, my dad came and helped me pull out the remote start, and we put the battery on a 12V charger. After that, it started perfectly. I had to turn it off when I went and got gas, but when I started it again, it sounded tired, but it started.
Today, I went to start it, and it didn’t. I put it on a 2A charger to trickle charge it, went and checked on it a couple hours after being on the charger, and the “Charge Complete” light was on. So, I took the charger off, and went to start it. It didn’t start, and the video below is what it sounded like.
And here is what the dash showed after I tried to start it:
I decided to put my jump pack on the battery and see if maybe that would start it, and it didn’t. I’ve attached a video of what that sounded like.
I have no clue what steps to take next, or even what possible could be wrong with it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
