You aren't going to test for much else till that's known perfect. For now that's all it seems - bad battery or connections. If it runs without a decent battery and charge you'll add lots more troubles to do pay attention to it, T Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Aug 12, 2019, 10:23 AM Post #3 of 3 (1434 views) Re: Mysterious no start short Sign In Quote Today go to start car and hear shorting sound this time no dashlights work or anything plz help What exactly does a "shorting sound" sound like? A "short circuit" is an electrical term that has no sound. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
