Snowferno Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I was away from my legacy for a month and it didn't have any starting issues when I left, come back thought the battery was dead so I charged it up and now all dash lights and chimes will come on but nothing else happens when the key is turned. What should I check next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06silvarubiLGT Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Is the battery good? Any blown fuses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slim101 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Get your hands on a battery tester and check CCA and see what its at. A month is kinda long to just sit. it might just have enough to tune the lights and what not on but not enough to crank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowferno Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Had it hooked up to one of those portable battery chargers/jump starters, which was plugged into an outlet, let it charge for a couple hours and tried to start it with it still plugged in. It's very possible that the battery could be completely shot. I should have unplugged it before I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugeye2GT Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Get the battery tested, or just replace it. Most chain auto parts stores will test you battery for free. If the battery was weak to begin with letting it sit for a month could be what cinched the deal. If the battery is bad it may not accept a charge. Trickle chargers, and run of the mill jump boxes won't always work if the battery is toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
