yep that was it. it was a brand new battery so i didn't think of it...but the connectors for the positive and negative were really messed up and not tightened down very well. i got new connectors and a jump, and it's starting up great now!! and i tested to see if it held the charge and it's all good now. thanks!
1984 Mustang trouble
my car was running fine yesterday, but when i woke up this morning it wouldn't turn on. it sounds like a grinding sound coming from the starter relay right next to the battery. the lights dim in my car when i try to start it and it just has a grinding type sound. i replaced my starter and the relay today, not because of this but because it was needed but it still does the same thing. i'm not sure if it's a wiring issue or what. on the top i have the positive cable, the fusible link and the starter wire, on the bottom i have the starter motor cable and on the s i have the ignition wire that slips right on. any and all info is appreciated i gotta get the car running again to get to work!! thanks for the help!!!
