When last I tried to start my 1991 Mazda Miata it seemed about to start as usual, then it just died. Everything went totally black. When I turned the ignition key again, I got nothing, no lights, clicks, radio beeps, NOTHING! So, I went ahead and replaced the battery, as mine was almost 6 years old, but still nothing at all. Please advise!!

I've had similar problems with my cars, and everytime it was a bad ground or power wire, or corrosion on the terminals. Get a wire brush and clean both battery connecters..even a little corrosion can cause a no power situation. If you have a test light, connect the ground of the test light to the negative cable of the battery and touch light to the positive cable...if the test light doesn't light up, then you have a break or lose connection in your ground wire. Trace the battery ground to the engine block and clean that also...the smallest thing can interupt power...hope this helps..

i had a 2003 ctc that did the same thing, it wouldn't start or would make a clicking sound and about 1 mth after the problem started aND mechanics could not find a problem my car caught on fire and burned completely from something under the right side of the hood. i had just parked the car and got out, it happened really fast. the fire chief said the cause was unknown????
now i have a 2004 cts and i'm having the same problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! has anyone else had this happen???? please be cautious if your cts is doing this, during the fire my doors locked and had to be pried into by fire chief.

Almost certainly its the relay. In the fuse box there will be a number of box like objects. One of these is the starter relay. Check with manual and replace the relay. Sometimes you can get some temporary relief by tapping the relay or removing it and replacing it. If that doesn't work you'll need a new one.

This is an indication that you have a bad or loose connection at the battery. Check the cable ends on the battery and clean them of any green looking stuff. Make sure all connection are tight at the battery.
Testimonial: "Wow you were 100% correct. awsome... the cables were corroded from the terminals about 7 inches through my positives and negative. appreciate it boss."
I am having a simular problem. I started out getting tire pressure light, brake light, and door adjar coming on when I was driving. It would stay on for a few min and go off. I wasnt getting any codes when it was coming on. Then I started having problems starting my 2007 Ford Expedition with 87,000. I would turn the key and my power seats would not move and I wouldnt get any lights. The only thing that would come on was the radio. When I turned the key I didnt hear anything. I can wait about 5 min and it will start. I have had it at the Ford dealer for about a month and they still dont know what the problem is. I have paid about 900 so far and the only thing they have done is change out the junction box and I still have the same problem. Please help!!
