:ohdamn:
Well tonight I was putting in new head lights in my 90 laser rs. Had the battery disconnected, reconnected the battery and turned the key, lights came on but it made a buzzing noise that sounded almost like a fuel pump under the hood. When i went to turn the key to start the car everything completely died, no lights no power no nothing!!
I looked at all the fuses and there good.
The car is all stock exept plugs, wires, and boost controller.
WHAT IS GOING ON!?!?!?!?!?!
:confused:
 
Double check the connection to the battery. Make sure it'd tight, and also check the wires connection to the end. Other than that start checking for grounded wires. Btw the fuel pump is back twords the rear of the car, so it was something else. Maybe trace down the buzzing if what I mentioned previously didn't help.
 
Agreed with them, wire brush the connections make sure you didn't accidently loosen a ground to the battery and also make sure where the power cables connect to the terminal that connects to the battery are not corroded in anyway at all
 
well problem solved.. sanded down the battery posts and terminals.. still made that funny buzzing noise but it fired right up and all seems to be good
thanks for the help
