bad contact probably, if it has bolted connection to the body then take the bolt out and checkbad contact probably, if it has bolted connection to the body then take the bolt out and check

Check the battery terminals and posts are shiny clean and tight. Check that the earth wire from the battery is connected to a good clean earth point and is tight. Check that the battery leads are not corroded and ready to break at a terminal
Start by checking the wiring to the VSS (sensor) . Plug has 3 wires. One of the outside wires should have 12 volts when ignition on. Other outside wire should have an earth of no more than 5 ohms impedance. Centre wire should give an earth pulse when gearbox is turning. If live and earth are good, but no pulse, then sensor or its drive gear is broken. Problem is usually sensor suffering ppor earth connection. Ok to cut earth wire before sensor and atach to sutable earth point.
hi from uk check the main lead from battery+positive to the starters solenoid is secure ? also there is a thin wire that also connects to solenoid on a terminal of its own this is the solenoid energizing wire that works starter when key start position is selected if all above is ok? then use a jump lead and connect one end to battery negative post then the other end of lead to a suitable earth point on engine ? then try starting? if it works/starts ? you have a bad earth connection to engine from battery negative lead check the earth lead connection at point on engine is clean/secure ? it usually is secured by bolt at point where engine and transmission connect ? hope this helps?
If lights don't work, they either have no power, or no return earth. Therefore, remove a stoplamp globe and measure the voltage present in the globe socket. Next with a mutimeter, or battery powered light circuit, check that the globe sockets are in fact earthed to the frame.. If the earth is ok, and there is no power present, then you have a break in the wiring between the stoplamp switch and the rear of the vehicle.
It seems the battery loses power over night.
There seems to be some electrical componant chewing up the battery.
Try to remove one of the battery terminal wire at night and thn fix it in the morning and thn see if it will start without jumping, if it does thn the battery is being chewed up overnight.
If after removing the battery terminal at night and refitting it in the morning and it still requires jump start ,thn the battery is faulty.
Hope this helps!
Hello Mark. Have you had the battery checked. Next time it is going to be standing for a few day's disconnect the + battery lead and replace it when you are going to start it again. If the battery is drained then it's the battery that's faulty not the car.
there could be a bad earth somewhere in there causing it not to work. either that or the light socket itself could be faulty. check the contacts with a multimeter or test pen. check the wiring for any obvious signs of wear or damage and trace it back to where it joins the right side. hope that helps you out a bit
