Here's one I recently just experienced, after changing the battery
to a "better"? one, it wouldn't start....
The Head lights and front markers didn't light up....
The Instrument panel lights up well.....
The motor cranked a bunch of times but no spark till I flooded the throttle
body "smelled gas"........
When I cranked the motor, the instrument panel's LCD display and Backlights
vanished.......
I heard a relay "ratcheting" near the gas tank/Ignition coil NOT the louder
Starter Relay....
I'm thinking a bad battery, with only 12 volts and not

12.4v--->12.8v I forgot to check it when I went to the parking lot....I
forgot the multi-meter......but it looked good on the "float".....
Does the Fuse Box cover detach from the side or the bottom, do you
pop it off, or is like a cell phone config were you pop it up and off the
hinges......????

1) Was said battery fully charged? Most batteries are shipped dry,
and the shop/dealer often doesn't add the initial acid until they are
sold. The initial acid might give enough charge to start a vehicle, but
I wouldn't trust it -- when I bought a new battery in January, it spent
the night (~20 hours) attached to my charger to ensure it was up to
100%.
2) Did you clean any build up off the cable connections?

The battery wasn't charged more than 12v, and had even dropped to
11.5v, so the ignition coil relay wasn't getting juice....
Oh I noticed that the headlights don't come on until after the motor
starts, a convenient if not (120watt) necessary, I never noticed that part
since I usually check the rear lights most, and starting is usually a
snap...
These MF(maintenance free) batteries, and there is no topping and
specific gravity tests anymore.....just MF (screwed).....modern shit....
(~20 hours) attached to the charger, is not uncommon even some
without a float type charger, since some batteries go as low as 7 volts, but
recovering them is really low on amps.....
They are usually used only if you have an all night "trickle"
charger, but if your parking on a parking lot like me, there is no chance in
finding an outlet......and if you find one the local jealous retarded vandal
will find a way to do wreck something, like the one lurking around my anal
orphus....they are usually bullshit rat fink fairy tellers on probation or
community work, to wreck havoc to generate police quotas....
