rumproast789 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 My brother was installing a headunit in his car, a pionner 2100ib or something like that and I wasn't home to help him out with it so I don't know what happened. He thinks it is a short, but he can answer all the questions you guys have. The battery isn't dead, the car won't even make an effort to try and turn over, you know that clicking noise? It doesn't even do that. We can jump the car and it starts but when you start reving the engine the guages on the dash start freaking out and flickering, it doens't look like the battery is dying, but it can't start up by itself... I think the chip got fucked up or something idk tbh Please help guys Quote 2002 ford explorer 200 amp rewound alt single 18" Fi btl fully loaded 2 1750's 2 c&d tech 88amp/hr batts 2 ought wiring cdt component set up front, cdt coaxials in back Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X693 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shyne151 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) God all chrysler minivans after 2000 are electrical nightmares... if you think it's the battery did you try jumping it? *edit* i just read you did try jumping it... hmm i would say the battery is a good possibility. take it in and get it tested at autozone or somewhere.
