As title says. I disconnected my battery and cleaned my MAF sensor. I reinstalled it, connected the battery and tried to crank it. Lights come on and it clicked a couple times while I was turning the key (like a dead battery), but now it makes no effort at all to start though all the lights come on. I pulled the sensor for the night thinking it may have needed to dry longer (or its fried), but still nothing at this point, and the lights come on still. The battery has full charge also. Any ideas?

 

Should add, it is now scrolling 'power steering and ' 'low fuel' on the DIC. I just filled it yesterday and I have a locking cap, also the recall has been done.

 

Bump.

 

Bump. somebody has to know a little about this issue. Fuses are good (under hood and in console).

Your not giving enough info. Does the car crank at all?

 

Will not crank. you can hear the faint buzzing of the starter, but will not turn over. Not even an attempt. everything else works though. There is juice going to everything we have tested. Thinking it is a relay. Just seems funny that the fuel gauge doesn't move, car was filled yesterday. The Tach and speedo will move up to 0 when key is 'on'. The power steering was fixed last year. Had it towed to the stealership as they said I'm still under factory warranty? Not according to my paperwork I believe, but ok. Guess we will find out Monday what's up.

 

Your battery is dead ,boost the car or charge the battery.(charging the battery wont help if it is bad)
If you want to know true battery voltage you must read it as someone tries to start it.
If its still okay and you can hear the starter clicking, try bum starting the car if its a standard.(ignition on and use second gear and put the clutch in immediatly when it starts and then put it into first gear)

 

We replaced the battery on Friday thinking that's what it was. No luck. Diagnosis from the dealer today is a bad BCM. Will be back on the road Wednesday afternoon. Thanks for the suggestions! My next question is, how often do these BCM's go bad? Obviously it's a freak thing it seems but I don't wanna be dropping 600 bucks every time it decides to die.
