My car won't start. Won't turn over. I've checked for bad fuses and tested the battery, both are fine. My windows, radio, headlights, etc all work. When I turn the key on my DIC reads "service power steering" "service traction control" "service esc". Any ideas?

 

Try leaving the car disconnected from the battery for 30 seconds.

 

Just went out and tried that, still nothing.

 

Hmmm. Maybe try pulling the fuse for esc and traction control and see what happens? Have you had the recall done?

 

I'll go back out and try pulling those fuses. I haven't had the recall done.

 

Sounds like all the **** it reads while you're reflashing the ECU. Wonder if it took a dump?

 

That's kind of what I'm thinking.

I did install a HID fog light kit and have only had the car started once since then. I'm wondering if it somehow fried or fucked my ECU up. I had one about a year ago though and didn't have any issues.

 

No luck on the fuses.

 

sounds like ecu, didn't you get tuned at zzp recently? Shame you cant reload it, and try again.

 

Yeah, it's been tuned by ZZP for almost two months now.

 

pull your ECU, then reseat it.

 

I'll try that, if worst comes worst and I have to replace it I'll have to get the car retuned again, correct?

 

Yes, unfortunately that's the case.

But ZZP would probably work something out with you.

 

check the big powersteering fuse. its yellow if i remember correctly. just look for a break between the soder joints. you cant get a test light on it. have you had the fuse box, grounds or power disconnected?

 

Had a rental Ram that was doing the same thing, saying "Sevice ___________ soon." ECU was fried on it. Once it was shut off, it wouldn't start. It was completely dead too.

 

I hope they do too if that's the case.

I did have the grounds under the headlights disconnected to ground the HID fogs, but I checked them.

 

did you get it running?

 

Nope, got it towed to the stealership today.

 

If all that shows on the dic is mileage and temp, and the radio still works check your wires to your bcm, i took my ls in and it would turn on but it threw a security lock out code, they found shorts along the wires running to my bcm, fixed that and replaced a rew mini fuses and got it back up.

 

Sounds the ign switch to me. You'll get power but nothing will happen when you crank it and you'll get all those messages. They will probably start with the switch and then go from there if that wasn't the problem.

 

sounds like you should probably sell it and buy my Sedan

 

I had to replace a whole fuse block because it was so badly corroded underneath. All the same symptoms you are describing. It was $700CAD with labour. Vultures!!

 

battery. needs to be a full 12 v plus. I bet u ran it down instaling ur HID

 

Have you put a charger on the battery to make sure it's fully charged?

 

Agreed. Had s problem with my Mazda. Battery read good voltage but no amps. Try a different battery maybe if u haven't already.
