alright guys this is my first post but I've been absorbing knowledge for a couple years now. I tried searching but haven't come up with anything.. so forgive me if this has been discussed
My problem: I was finishing up replacing my air filter when i set the ratchet down(not checking where it was landing) right on top of my positive battery terminal and the battery hold down causing a nice little spark. I wasn't too worried until I went to back the car out the garage and now it won't start
The symptoms: Lights will come on when I open the door and when I insert the key and turn to position one the radio will come on, however it seems like voltage is fluctuating at this point.(the dash lights will dim as other accessories are turned on?) Now as soon as I turn the key into the second position all lights go away. No clicking no spinning from the starter
I've used a multimeter and I'm getting 12.8 on the battery terminals, 12.8-12.6 when i turn the head lights on. I've followed the 12v all the way to the 100 amp battery fuse and again behind it and its fine. I've pulled EVERY fuse both under the hood and under the dash and none were popped.
I'm hoping that you guys can shed some light cause I'm feeling pretty boneheaded at the moment :headbash:
