1st Gen Electric Issue
I've been wrestling with a strange electric issue since we got hit with rain a couple weeks ago. Car sat for 2 months, went to start her up, no problems at all. Few days later after heavy rains, went to start her up and nothing, not even the check engine/oil pressure/charge lights etc lit up. Jumped, and got her running, drove around a bit, and parked. Couple days later, starts right up, drive around, park. Couple days later, nothing, jump, charge, etc..
Then she started up a few times no problem, and I told myself, rain-fluke. Last weekend, starts up fine, load her up with all camping gear and drive to gas station no problem. Fill her up, go to start, lights on, cranking, but no charge light on the dash and she will not start just cranks endlessly. Tried jumping with two diff vehicles and nada, no charge light, will not start up, just cranking. Tow home, no camping, super bummed.
Next day, she starts up without flinching, drive her home from parents across town, unload camping stuff, rolling up rear window and it slows then dies 3/4 up.... Completely dead, no lights, nothing.
Yesterday I got the battery tested, and they said it was good to go and fully charged. Clean all terminals, plug it back in, go to start and she is completely dead, no lights, nothing. Tried jumping her today and couldn't get anything...
At this point, I think I have a short somewhere, but honestly I have no clue. Anyone know of any common places to get a short on these creatures? Somewhere that water can cause a short?
Thanks for reading.
