T/A won't start :( Hey guys. So I've currently got my T/A in storage and I went to start it up to move it yesterday. Here's the breakdown:
The battery won't hold a charge whatsoever. It's a 6 month old Optima Red Top. When I hook the car up to another car to jump it, everything works (lights, dash, headlamps etc) but the car won't start. The starter clicks rapidly and the car sometimes wants to turn over but won't fully start. I've tried charging the car with jumper cables for over a half hour and it still won't hold a charge.
When I get out of work I'm gonna take the battery out and have it tested, but since it's almost brand new I can't imagine it's the battery. I also changed out the IGN relays to no avail. They also didn't look blown. If it's not the battery, I'm thinking maybe battery cables are shot? Any suggestions/input is greatly appreciated. This weather is too nice right now not to drive around with the t-tops off
