Default CAR WONT START SOMETIMES


HEY EVERYONE , thanx for having time to read this ......

lets get down to bizniz im not gonna hold u up , before i had the car all hooked up it ran great , well there was a gold piece connecting everything to run the neons and gauges ........ some mechanic rewired everything , dont kno wha he did , but the gauges only work when i turn off the lights , so i just wanna know why does my car need a jump to start when all the accessories are connected .... is it bcuz its a weak batter ? does anyone have a solution to have everything connected with no problems ? please share right away thanx !

could be a weak battery, or it could be too many accessories. I've heard of cars (not saturns) that just have a weak starting system, and you have to have all accessories off to start the car, because that is when the highest demand is put on your battery. If you have a ton of other things pulling juice, they may be pulling too much for the starter to get what it needs.

do you use your acc. when your car is off? that leads to draining the battery really fast, also you could have a weak alt.

..and if you drain your battery a few times, it'll ruin it. Sometimes one full discharge is all it takes...
