found this thread but have sone questions;

I’m here looking into my dads car.




This thread was the closest to his issue.




My question are his cars symptoms similar to what you have seen?




The car acts as if the battery is dead (dads battery is new);

lights all go off

dash lights off

can only get power if jumped




jumper cables hooked up and lights come on but when trying to start it acts like its not getting enough power as the starter solenoid clicks rapidly BUT the dash lights (all the lights really) flicker as well so its like a total car wide inadequate power flow




does the interlock interrupt power all over the car? even with a fully charged battery? because ALL the lights go off. why would jumping override this failure if it is the interlock? seems more like power isn’t getting from the battery to the components but this car IS more advanced than anything I’ve worked on so just curious

I’ll check out the links and have my dad call about the recall

just seems wierd that the interlock could do all this but hey, the more knowledged have spoken so I will listen, thanks!
