I have a 99 SE-L, and i when i go to start my car, everything just shuts off. I turn my key and all i get is a click, and all power gets taken away. So this has been happening for a while, and all i would do is take the negative cable off my battery and put it back on, and it will usually turn on.

this morning i was leaving for work, and it happened again, so i tried about 15 times by reseting the battery, and it still wont turn on, i just got home tried several more times, and it still isnt going..... anyone got any ideas on what could be happening?

i have a feeling it has something to do with the ****ty immobilizer in the car

 

id say weak battery from what ive read. get your batt tested also your alternator might be the culprit.

 

Battery bad, cables bad, corrosion on battery terminals...

 

battery? but how come when i turn the key everything just goes out, and i mean EVERYTHING...... but when i take the cable off the terminal and put it back on,everything just turns right back on??

 

Chect the connector plug ins @ pos. batt. term. They will corrode at times.And of course a battery load test & charging sys. ck. You can buy a cheap battery hydrometer at the zone and specific gavity of each cell also.

 

take a hammer and beat up ur battery terminals, if the click is fast and lasts as long as u try to start, its prolly just a bad connection
