93 Ford EB Futura
Ok, went to start my ford, nothing, Battery flat. Then spent 40 minsutes trying to jump it, nothing. New Battery. After i put it in the hazard lights came on and stayed on, not blinking, just on. I had a hole in my radiator overflow and there was some dried coolant around the battery so i cleaned it up and lights went out. Went to start, (all dash lights working, headlights ETC) NOTHING. The starter wont even turn over. just a "Click" when i turn the key. Whats wrong with my baby? PLEAAAAAAAAAASE HELP. |

ignition coil maybe?
does your car turn over? check to see if any spark comming through the plugs? chuck a multi meter on the starter engine to see if theres a current flowing through it? |

Smartlock? (got an immobiliser? "unlock" the car with the immobiliser, not just your key)
Methinks you have an ED as well, Futuras didn't come out until the ED range. A hole in the rad reservoir sounds a tad concerning! Could you describe it better for us? |

Ok its a 93 ford futura, auto, sedan.
I had a really small hole in the overflow tank, anyway i left the car for 3 months in a carpark (it was running perfectly) So as i said went to start it NOTHING, new battery, then starter wont even turn over. The smartlock light is doing its normal thing, when i take key out it flashes then when i put it in it goes out. Im stumped |
