Major Problem
Re: Major Problem
These cars require almost a 100% charge in the battery to crank when cold. Had this issue with another members car and he took the brand new battery out, had it tested at pep boys, charged to 100% capacity there at the store, then put it back in the car. It fired right up and he has had no issues since. Sometimes a "new" battery has discharged slightly and wont produce the required CCA these cars need.
Good luck...let us know what the outcome is.

Re: Major Problem
Just had the same problem last week. Called NAPA to check purchase date of the battery. Was told Jan. 2010, but bring it in and they would check it. While disconnecting the negative terminal I noticed how dirty it was. I cleaned the post and the inside of the terminal, reconnected it and everything is fine. Starts right up.
Well almost everything is fine. All of the sensors reset except for the Tire Pressure sensor. All of the tires are inflated properly but the light will not go out. It might be one of the TPS sensors.

Sorry it took so long to get back. Kind of limited to computer usage when your in the military.
We figured out the problem.. It was super simple and im a little ashamed to admit it.
It was the battery. The one that was on it was slowly going down hill and couldnt start the Crossie anymore.
So now were good!
Thanks fellas I never would have checked the battery if it was for yall.

[quote=ShaunXFire]I thought it was over but something is draining the battery. Any ideas or similar issues?[/quote
Have you added anything that does not switch off when the ignition is turned off?
How long does it take to kill the battery?
Does the alternator actually do any charging?
Anything using a decent amount of power will get warm, try going around the car feeling for hot spots.

I can't find any lights on at all anywhere.

Connecting the voltmeter between the disconnected battery cable and the battery should show the drain, if not the drain is in the battery or it is an intermittent drain.

Good luck.
