As soon as you put your brothers battery in it.. it only clicked? Perhaps his battery was bad as well as yours? I'd buy a new one.

nope it never clicked. i think there might be a draw on the battery. were would i start to look for it. i have no idea???

take the batt and have them load test it. FREE hello. ck the battery cables for corrosion especially inside the insulation. Keep us posted on status

check the ground wire too...i had the same problem figure out that my ground wire wasnt' on tight enough

 

[brad94GT]

were do the battery cables run to? fuse box?

 

[Traidmarx]

the starter.

if your bros battery could barely move the windows what makes you think that the battery is good? I would think that his battery is junk.

i never said his battery new or anything it starts his car just fine.

what group size is the battery? Usually fords like good cranking amps and good grounds

 

[Traidmarx]

i'm willing to bet its the ground...mine'll do that if i don't tighten the shit outta the ground cable on to my neg. battery post.

check all the grounds I had a bad ground on the side of the timing cover and it caused my car not to start

 

[brad94GT]
