Car wont start. Suprise!
Too bad I love my 7 too much. It was worth the price just to stare at and sit in. Anyways need some more of that precious rotor tech advice. Car wouldn't start for a while due to bad grounds (changed my clutch and forgot to hook up the main starter ground funny thing is the car ran for three weeks). Ran a new ground from the negative cable to the alternator tensioning bolt, and ta da! Car worked great for a weekend even got some s5 tail lights. Then this morning it wouldn't start I was getting power to anything not even the emergency lights. The car would only beep and then stop once I turned the key to start. I jumped started it later and it worked fine. The battery is reading 12v and I just had the alternator checked two weeks ago and it was fine. I finally hooked the ground to the starter ( yeah i know should have done it a while ago). Still nothing. Sorry it's so long but it will hopefully be easier to define the problem this way, that and I am pretty new to working on my own car. Any advice would be great. Thanks a lot guys
