87RX7TII

A friend of mine is having trouble starting his car.. he cranks it and nothing happends. But the thing that gets me is when he pushes the brake his dashboard lights up.. any ideas?
P.S. on page 139 of the HAYNES manual what is the hole to the right of the AUX ports (above the bolts which is blocked off) I told him that they didnt do anything but Im not 100% sure

Sounds like he has a dead battery and weak alt if the dash lights are coming on when he presses the brake pedal. He will need to fix that first.

Please read the FAQ for FC at the top of this section, it has info on starting a flooded RX-7

As far as your hole, there is a freeze plug to the right of the aux port in the Haynes manual.

sorry i didnt mean to imply that it was flooding he turns the key and NOTHING happends no starter or anything so chances are it all has something to do with the alt or battery..

what is the freeze plug for?

Freeze plug is supposed to pop out to relieve the pressure if you're engine gets to freezing-up in ultra cold weather.

only about 1000% that it has to do with the battery

and what is the voltage at the battery when he does this???

And please don't bump unless it has been a couple of days and no one has answered.
