Need your help

only two things have cause a no start/rapid clicking situation on my car.
1) your battery is dead
2) the clip to the starter solenoid has come off. you can check by reaching for the starter from underneath the car and making sure the solenoid is plugged in.

 

Thanks. I'm gonna check when I get home. I wonder why my HID's would drain my battery though. I didn't leave my lights on last night.

 

a short perhaps

 

Damn. Wish I knew somebody in San Antonio that could help me set my stuff up right.

 

HID's will drain your battery if:
1. You turned them on and off too many times with the car not running.
2. You turned them on and left them on too long with the car not running.

Trust me I know lol. When I first got my HID's I kept turning them on and off and leaving them on for a little bit showing them off to people. The next day I get up to go to work... the battery was low voltage (see it on my Scangauge) and the car wouldn't start.

 

Thanks. That was exactly the problem. I didn't realize that HID's would drain my battery like it did. I was doing exactly what you said Figs. Now when the HID's draing my battery, can I go an have it re-charged? Or do I have to buy a new battery?

 

No problem!

If the HID's drained your battery. Your two options would be...
1. You can have someone jumpstart you car... as soon as its running, let it idle for a little bit and go for a drive.
2. You can go get the battery re-charged.

As long as the battery is holding the charge you don't need a new battery.

Just remember if you turn your HID's on with the car not running don't have them on for a long time... just powering the HID's takes some power.

 

Glad it was an easy fix for you...

 

Thanks guys for the help. Now I just gotta figure out why my high beams don't come on.
