Thewes Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 Made a post a while ago about my batter being dead, but it sits at like 10-11 when not run for 24 hours and after some experimenting, I realized that the car will always start, but you just have to turn the key a tad bit, let it chug for a second, then it will kick on. Previously when I first ran into the problem, I would just turn the key all the way and the car would just begin to click and wouldn't start, then I would be forced to have the car jumped and it would work. But now with just turning the key slowly I can get it to start whenever. Does this problem sound familiar to anyone? Its a 2004 Escalade, 50 thousand miles on it, and its just some regular old lead/acid battery. Problems started after I removed my kinetik 1400 upfront and 2400 in the back and placed in the stock battery... Quote
camino_1to3 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 If it stalls it's probably your battery, your altenator takes over once your cars on. Even if the battery is new it may have a some kind of problem. I'd try one of your old kinetiks or another battery just to make sure.

I hope its just the battery, I might of shorted it some how and blew some cells if that could be causing these problems. I think it has just enough juice when I turn the key slow to start getting the alternator moving then once that and the engine kicks in everything is fine. Quote
SteelCityGhost Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 I would say the battery, also. Do you still have any car audio equipment connected? If so, could be voltage drops causing your computer system to go haywire. Happened to me. Quote

EricM9104 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 Sounds like the battery's almost dead. Quote 2015 Honda Civic LX 4dr | 110k miles | Stock 1996 GMC Yukon SLT 4dr 4wd | 260k miles | JVC Head-unit
Ipod Posted May 12, 2008 Report Posted May 12, 2008 use a DVOM to test the battery and the alt. even though your battery might test good without any load, ask some to start the car while the meter is attached to see how much the voltage drop.
