Ok to make a long story short. I was in an accident, front end damage was sustained. I pulled radiator away from the fan and was able to start the engine. I then took the battery out to replace radiator, passenger fender, passenger lights and bumper.

I get it all back together and now the motor won’t turn over. I get a click like the battery is dead when I try the key. So I tried jumping it same result. Put a volt meter on the battery and have ~13volt. Now when I have the key on or off (but not trying to start) I get a clicking nose from the passenger side of the dash. And now when i try to start everything goes dead. The noise seems to be coming from right back side of the glove box. Tried to locate but can seem to find. Also can’t seem to find what is in that area from my Haynes manual.

Anyone have any ideas on what is wrong. Ask any questions and I will try to answer them.

Thanks

 

check the ground from the battery and so on so forth.

 

is ve4hicle stock?
cel & if applicable is security light on?
ck fuse #9? 40 AMP.
VEHICLE IN p try N
check starter relay - does it click when someone tries to start?

i agree double check thoise cables esp grnd... might want to swap battery with a known good one...

 

Took the battery out and triple/ quadruple checked everything and put it back in and it works. Must have had a faulty ground. Thanks for the help.

 

my guess would have been a bad connection between the block and negative post.
