Modern electrical issues can only be resolved only after all connections have been determined as clean, dry, and tight. Corrosion can cause voltage drops that will affect sensitive sensors and relays, that will prevent your vehicle from starting. Loose connections and especially an entire fuse box being loose will definitely be part of the problem. Repairs to this need to be done to continue diagnosis.
frozen or broken. try a good whack on front on hood while someone pulls latch, see if you can free it up. no luck? try pounding at driver's side near the windshield while someone pulls latch. no luck? You can crawl under front with a screwdriver and reach up and try to release the latch manually. push the little lever the cable attaches to over towards driver's side. good luck. When open, see if cable operates latch: if good spray it liberally with penetrant. If your cable is broken, just get a new one or visit a salvage yard. The hood latch can be adjusted a small amount.
Hi, if you can open the hood, use jumper cables to open the trunk. Connect the negative cable to chassis ground or even the engine. Connect the positive cable to either the big nut on the starter solenoid, the fuse box, or the big charge wire nut on the back of the alternator.
The battery for your car is located in the trunk. There are jumper terminals located under the hood in the front of your car. There is a Red (+) terminal that is under a little black cover on the passenger side of the engine bay near the firewall. Right near that is a silver/gray bolt that is bolted to the frame of the car. This is the negative terminal.
Make sure both cars are and all accessories are off: 1) Connect the Postive cable to the dead battery 2) Connect the Positive cable to the good (BMW) terminal 3) Connect the Negative cable to the good (BMW) terminal 4) Connect the Negative cable to the dead battery 5) Start the BMW. (if you have 2 people then gently rev the engine) 6) Start the dead car. 7) Let both cars idle for a while before disconnecting any cables 8) Remove in the opposite order.
no not a typical ignition problem. sounds like bad connection. yes check cables first. then check under hood fuse box. check engine ground. check little red box under hood by battery. check start cable connections. nice truck sorry to hear of the problem
Either hook the jumper cables to the battery in the trunk or hook the postive to the postive stud under the hood( passenger side near the firewall) and the ground to the block.
Fusible link is in the main battery 12v wire somewhere between the battery and the fuse block. However, if that blew, the truck will be dead. I really depends where the lift wire was connected, and as you pointed out, that is bad as it may have burned out the wire it's connected to - focus on that connection and the other systems on it.
I know of the remote battery under hood on the left side, I have located the positive cable connection, and the manual states the negative cable connection is near the power steering pump.
But my question/problem is I need a specific picture of what the the negative cable connection looks like can you provide me a visual on this?
