leet8845 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Hi, I fitted a stereo and have been playing it a bit. I went to start car after a couple of hours, the ignition lights come on but it doesn't turn over, just makes a weird clicking noise. Is this a flat battery or immobiliser or anything else? Quote
WhackyWill Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Sounds like a flat battery, get the jump leads out .. Quote
mikey2130 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 definite flat battery! the ticking noise you hear is either the plugs firing or the starter motor solenoid coming out, but won't have enough juice to turn. 1 Quote

leet8845 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 And where will I get a battery from on a saturday evening? It won't hurt to charge it and replace IF it needs it. I bet you've wasted loads of money to avoid 'messin' Quote

I charge mine every month in Winter for a few hours, as I only use the Zed around Town. Quote

GMballistic Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Would that help me get the back end out? Could do, ...although with that much weight in the boot you may find it difficult to lose traction. Be good for a straight 72 hours of music goodness though I'm sure. 1 Quote
