oktey guys i need your help.. my 7 just died on my in the middle of the road when i was waiting for a train to go by. (i HATE trains....grrr.! ) after it died it. it wont even crank i tryed to jump it and still it wouldnt crank at all not even sound like it wanted to i know its not the battery cause i got that tested yesterday. what could it be??

 

Sounds like you have a popped main fuse or similar. Pull the fuse cover off on the drivers side strut tower and take a peak. If it's popped you're going to have to figure out why it popped (perhaps a short in your wiring, rather large to pop that fuse, or perhaps your battery isn't tied down and the positive terminal smacked part of the car and popped it? But give it a look.

 

Do you have an aftermarket alarm? I had a clifford on my car for a while - it included a remote starter. While I was driving to lunch one day with a friend of mine in the car.... all of the sudden the system armed itself and disabled the ignition... and the car just went flat DEAD in the middle of the road. I called up the installer because I knew he was the last person to work on it. We narrowed it down to the alarm, and we figured out a way to disable it using the valet button inside the car.

Hope this might help...

 

Sounds electrical to me, check fuses 1st, the ones under the hood, then check the battery. If you were able 2 drive it for a while before this happened it could even be the Alternator.

yeah i hate a viper aftermaket alarm but it doesnt have remote start.. and u can still crank the car with the alarm going off.. and armed..

 

we need more info..does it crank?...or do you turn the key and nothing happens at all...are all the idiot lights on when you turn the key to ACC?

 

how about enough fuel...the question has to be asked ok

 

then thats not much of a alarm system then...IMO...anyway...call ur personal mechanic...he'll come to the rescue

 

Actually, the guys at Tweeter put a remote start in my car using the Viper system... I just have to make sure I don't leave the car in gear - or bad things will happen! I haven't had any problems with the system at all...

Yeah - check those fuses. You can download wiring manuals at http://www.iluvmyrx7.com/

 

No is doesnt crank... i turn the key and nothing but i do get all my idiot lights and all ..

i better be gettin enough fuel i got gas.. i got new fuel lines and a new filter on

HES AT WORK AND WELL I GOT HIS CELL

 

could it be the starter???

 

i dunno... i dont know what to look for when a starter goes out?

 

get a hammer and hit the starter while someone else tries to start the car...no need to bang it to death but a few good love tabs coudl help..also..make sure the wires at the battery are on good...if the THOR trick does not work then check the cables running to the starter...my bet is it is the ground

 

not a ground i have a new ground for the motor.

 

i mean the ground at the starter

 

theres a ground attached to the starter from the harness?....if u got it replaced then ok..........anyway....i dont know about the starter.im pretty sure it'd be the starter ground..so i'd wait a while before giving the ole starter those love taps....bad starter wouldnt cause the car to die at idle....hmm..check ur head lights..do u have those?...are they bright?.....might be a bad alternator? or loose belts

 

Does the starter even make a 'clicking' sound? Does the 'starter' turn (some people mix up cranking as for the engine trying to start, instead of just the engine turning)
