tehbert0 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 alright friend called me trying to install a kenwood headunit in his blazer. i guess he did something wrong and now the car won't start. i went and looked at it and its making a god awful noise by the glove compartment. nothing else electrical works like locks, windows and all that. what should i look for first? battery is sitting at 11.1 Quote http://motorcitydesignsaudio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cqtama Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 does it crank or just click withouth trying to start? Quote R.I.P '01 blazer you treated my ears well until your transmission blew up.

tehbert0 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 its just like a little click. almost like the battery is dead Quote http://motorcitydesignsaudio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cqtama Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 make sure the battery is connected tight. if its loose it wont start. did he mount anything in the glove box? theres nothing in there that would effect the cars starting unless he shorted something out Quote R.I.P '01 blazer you treated my ears well until your transmission blew up.

tehbert0 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 connections are tight at the battery. could he have shorted something from the battery to the radio? Quote http://motorcitydesignsaudio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirill007 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Resting at 11.x volts is too low i think, how much does it drops when you put a load on the battery, i think the battery is dead.

tehbert0 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 if thats the reason then i could go over and try my battery in his car. but i want to know if theres anything else to look for before i go back Quote http://motorcitydesignsaudio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cqtama Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 oo, missed that. yea the car needs 12 volts to start. try jumping him. if the car starts you need a battery Quote R.I.P '01 blazer you treated my ears well until your transmission blew up.

tehbert0 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 he said the car ran fine before he messed it up. could he have touched wires to short out the battery or something? this is my least favorite part of car audio Quote http://motorcitydesignsaudio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm300 Posted April 3, 2010 Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 11 and even 12volts are way too low to start a car. Why didn't you guys try and jump start it?? I can almost be money that's the problem, either that or he some how got into the antitheft wiring and screwed something up. Just try jumpstarting it, disconnect your amps to be one the safe side though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
