I'm posting here as well as audio/electronics because I think I may have extended my problem beyond the initial LCD installation problem.

In installing a DVD player/TV, somehow the following problem started.

There is a new problem.. A rather big one..
My car doesn't start. All the electronics work fine... I go to start the car and it completely dies (after a quick click). All the lights go out and the car is dead. turn the key back and try again but there is no juice.. However as I slam the door to get out and take a look, the electronics come back on but when I try to start her up, dead again..
I go to the battery, remove the positive terminal and replace it and then i can start my car... turn it off and try again and it won't start.

Since this started earlier today, I have removed the power feeding the DVD/TV setup and this is still happening.. I was powering it directly from the battery.

Have I F'ed something up bad?

Thanks for any help..

Is shutting the door jarring a loose wire? Double check that all your connections are tight and not shorted. Also, clean your battery terminals and start the car and let it run for a few minutes to charge the battery back up. IT is possible for everything to look like it's functioning properly - the battery may have enough power to light up switches and stuff but may not have enough to turn the engine over. I would suspect you had the radio or some other device on while you were doing the install and ran the battery down. Good luck.

 

The problem is the battery you need to either tighten the heads, replace them or do what i did replace both of them. Another suggestion is to get another battery and put it in the trunk and run all of your electronics off of that..
