Once the irritating kids that came just to start an uproar leave, things should return o normal.
Coem on, you know you cant resist it

GOod, maybe all the idiots will shut up and go away now.

I want to add something.
Unlike G4, most people here have some sence. Most people here use correct grammar, DONT spam, DONT try to increase their post count by posting useless crap, and DONT act like ignorant little kids.
Remember, just because your parents dont want to raise you, doesnt mean we want to either.

Just for clarification, some nonsence is welcome in such threads as the Word assosciation thread, randome randomnes thread of randomtivity. but keeping it in good humor would be nice
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
OH yes, of course.
I guess that must be an old rant from G4. Oh, wait, its a current rant from G4.

Thats great, let all the little kiddies run around like they're at Walmart, but ban one of the ONLY mods that has ever given a $%*! about the Tech Support forum.
Well, thanks CHappy. Tech Support owes you one.

Heh, nice try over at G4 Mat.

Log into your Paypal account and see what it says.
Does the e-mail ask for a password, account info, or give you a link? If not, its probably not a "phisher".

Awesome! GREAT find.
Wow, its under 3MB.

Would bet if you had twisted the terminal on the battery post on one of those times it would not start it would have fired right up.
Yup, thats how i figured out that was the problem. I jiggled the last time it died, and it started right up.

Ive wondered that for a while.
Who ever it is is on quite a bit and doesnt have a public profile...

This member just joined us today Bubba Bob, and he's a real person while the other Google.com's were Google spider bots just archiving the pages, thats why there was no profile on them.

Ahhh, thanks Chappy.
That explains it

Interesting.
Was the terminal cracked or corroded??
No, but i could tighten it till the cows came home, and still slip it off the nipple w/o untightening it.
it just takes alot of patience and swearing and some throwing of tools and then some minor repairing of some small dents, that mysteriously appeared over night. it must've been those owls out back.
Heh, damn owls. -
The car died again the same day or day after i last posted. I changed the positive battery connector (not the wires, just the connector) and it hasnt died since. (almost a week)
Thanks Joe. If it dies again ill troubleshoot that. hopefully thats not the problem though
.
Hopefully this problem is sloved.
Thanks for the help all

BLack and white. No grayscale?

Well, the locksmith looked it over and said he didnt see anything wrong. SO, i took it to a Ford dealership. After 2 hours of techs scratching their heads they said they didnt know.
So, i took it to a small garage and they said it was the battery terminal connector. (which is only 2 years old. The OEM went bad) I didnt think that was it, but im out of ideas so i said ok.
If that doesnt work im afraid ill need a new starter
Well, the car dies once a week or so it seems. So, well know in a few days.
Good news though. My "CW Mccall's Greatest Hits" CD came in today
Thanks for the suggestions!

HAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Good one!!! Ill have to remember that.
-
HMm, maybe a little PC tower with a stethoscope around it?
Similar to this.
-
He replaced the switch and a "washer" inside the cylinder.
It has a BRAND spankin new battery in it. Ive cleaned the corrosion off a couple times (hoping, and praying that was it). The A/C was "charged" last year.
Yes, Auto Zone hooked it up to, "The Cart". They said the alternator was fine.
No check engine lights.
ACbearings? **scratches head** What would that have to do with a dead/dieing battery?
Also, if it helps any, this car will go days on end w/o a single problem. THen, BAM! Its dead...
Thanks for your time Mac.

HAHAH!!!! Thats a good one

To give him the benefit of a doubt, a locksmith about a year or so ago actually did the drilling. I had my keys stolen and they had to make a new key. So, this locksmith didnt REALLY do the drilling.
Anyway,
On the first day, he replaced the ignition switch. I came home and STILL couldnt start the car. So, i called him and he said he would come out the next day. The next day he came out and worked for 5 hours to replaced a worn out washer in the ignition. (he didnt bill me for the 5 extra hours) Apperently the escorts have something about them. The last locksmith said it was a B%$^& to put back together, same with this guy.
SO, ill take it to him Monday.
EDIT:
Also, heres what someone at FEOA.com (FOrd Escort Owners Ass.) wrote when replying to someone elses reply.
Not necessarily true. TONS of people on here (including me) have their cars beep when they open the door, and everything is off, key is out,. Mine has done this for over a year and hasn't died.Anyway, On monday if the locksmith doesnt find the problem ill go by and get a test light.
Thanks for the tips
-
Hmm, i have no test light. Would a wet finger work?
Im hoping that's it Marty. Maybe they just miss-hooked a wire. (PLEASE be it : ) )
Till i can have it checked out, I leave the negative battery cable unplugged when im at home or at the store. Which means i have to pop the hood to start my car and when i turn it off. (i feel like the stereotypical redneck now
Thanks for the tips
Anyone else?
-
Thats what i think, but my mechanic checked it all out said he doesnt "think" thats it... Im thinkin on visiting the lock smith monday. (damn, more $$$)

Ok, ive been having some car trouble lately. NO ONE seems to know what the hell is going on. Maybe some of ya'll could help?
Heres the deal:
A couple months ago my key got stuck in the ignition. So, a lock smoth drilled the ignition out and replaced worn washers in it.
Since then they damn car beeps when i open the door. (like when the key is in, but its not) I called the locksmith back and they said not to worry. Im like ok...
A couple weeks later, the car has trouble starting. Its seems like the battery was weak or something because the car wouldnt start with the A/C on, and cranked REAL weak. So, i took it to auto zone, and they said the alt. and battery were both fine.
So, i took it to my mechanic to have the plugs and wires changed (it idled rough) and he said he thought th serp. belt was slipping too much. So, he changed that also.
The car did fine for a little while, untill one morning i get up and the damn thing is DEAD! COMPLEtely DEAD! So dead a battery charger wont start it. Thankfully my neighboor jumps me.
Now, sometimes i can leave it over night, and it starts right up, while other times i leave it for an hour and BAM! Its dead.
Any thoughts on what is draining that battery?
OH! It's a 95 Ford Escort

Go somewhere like Newegg and look up the logitech sets. Those are good, and usually fairly cheap.
