S5 won't turn over after fender bender
My 1990 S5 GXL was in an accident on sunday, the right front corner of the car all smashed up:
https://www.rx7club.com/lounge-192/wrecked-my-fc-last-night-pics-466404/ I removed all the broken pieces: the right fender, bumper, right blinker, right fog light, right headlight and retractor, windshield washer resevior. I left all the connectors for everything i removed unplugged. I tried turning the key, and the engine wont turn over. -When I turn the key, it makes a click sound, and all the interior lights dim. -Ive tried jumping the battery with another running car, with same result. -The engine will turn over when the car is pushed while in gear (but i have not tried push-starting it) -I checked the wiring to the starter - looks good to me -Checked teh fuses near under the dash and next to the front left strut - all look good. More info that may or may not be related: -The engine was running after the accident, but i shut it off a few seconds after the impact. -After towing it to my house, it started making a rapid clicking sound coming from the bumper area. I unplugged the battery while i took all the broken pieces off. After everything was back together, and the battery back in, I havent heard the clicking at all. Any ideas? |
check your grounds and your power leads to the battery, possible that your silinoid got screwed up or your batery may have suffered from the impact too.
