help? car wont start...
Well my shifter lights werent lighting up, so I thought I would do a simple project and change out the light bulb. I had the driver door open the whole time, so the interior lights were on. Well just when I get the light changed out and start putting everything back together, I get a message on the DIC saying "charging system failure" and then it says "battery saver mode". Well I didnt think anything of it because I was just about done.
When I finally got everything back together and tried to start it, it just clicks multiple times very quickly. I tried disconnecting the battery, and I tried jump starting it with another car, but still same results. Any ideas?
p.s. its a 2006 GXP

put a charger on it and charge the battery for an hour or so and try it. if your jumpstarting it make sure you are using a GOOD set of cables and the battery terminals are tight and corrosion free. if this still fails and you know the battery is good, could be the starter.
