Okay here's what happened:
I recieved my B&M ripper and a car alarm and decided to put them in today. B&M took a while but when in no problem. The alarm was easy enough, just tore out my old one and attached the new one. This all took me a few hours in my garage. So I clean everything up and get ready for a test drive. I turn the key, the engine sounds like its turning over, then stops and makes a lot of clicking sounds until I turn the key back.. I try this again and the engine doesn't even want to turn, just a really loud racheting clicking sound in rapid succession.
So I test my lights, radio, all that because I had a similar problem in the past with the battery. All work fine at first, after a few tries it seems like the lights are struggling to open. So then I leave the radio on while trying to start it. The radio loses power as I turn the key.
Okay so I figure I need a new battery because I left the radio on (with key forward) for hours while I worked, well at least thats a start. But what in the world is that repeated clicking sound I'm hearing? Did I accidentally disconnect a wire while removing the old alarm? Short circuit? I couldn't find any.. If anyone can enlighten me, please do, this is my only vehicle and I'm stuck.
