Good luck!
elcorridor ftw!!!
So, the AAA guy came and we tried jumping the battery........nothing.
We checked the fuse box.......fuses are fine.
He left.
I stick my arm in the rear speaker hole in frustration and start feeling around where the battery might be...i find the ground terminal and i wiggle it around and the next thing you know there is a light shining in my eye....
So, i start my car and its all sludgy at first, but then it stables out. I go back to the trunk and touch the positive battery terminal and it is practically on fire (minus the flames)....it was scorching hot. I checked the ground cable and there is some wriggle to it. It seems that my system's ground cable was keeping this from wriggling prior to removing it (i had my amps grounded to the same location as the battery ground). When i removed my amps, this bolt won't sit tight anymore....weird....leads me to believe that this isn't the bolt that came with my car, which leads me to believe that the guys who initially installed my system had to improvise.
Oh well....thanks to everyone that helped me figure this out...now wish me luck driving home....lol.
