unhook the wires you have grounded in your first post. If they were the radio capacitor wires, they have power going to them. which is going to blow a fuse. replace the blown fuse. start the car.

 

I work at a dealer and i have never seen a car come in with a pats issue do to the battery being disconnected for a long time.

 

what fuse could it be?

 

i can check the diagram at work tommorow and let you know. or if you have a test light you can check them one by one. but i think its gonna be in the fuse panel under the dash on the driver side.

 

Thanks so much, I think you are right I haven't though of that and that makes so much more sense I'll be there first thing in the morning.

 

good luck i hope it works out for yea.

 

Did you do the checks I told you earlier? Those will tell you if the computer is dead.

Check fuse 34 under the dash.

Also check the black box on the passenger side fender right by the maf. Make sure all wires are connected to it.

I have had my battery out for a whole deployment (15 months) and never had a problem with the car and it had a diablo tune in it at the time.

If the dealer thinks you dont know **** they will try to screw you. I have gone to dealers with friends that were getting screwed and made the techs feel like dumb asses. Even got offered a job by the service manager but Army comes first.

 

Dealer sounds like BS. Listen to oxford

 

Jeff, man that is werid I have been busy all afternoon had no idea all this was going on? Did you have to leave the car at the dealer because if you did go up there first thing in the morning and stand beside your car bro and for that matter do was ox said and start checking thoughs fuses....hollar at me tommorow and let me know what is going on..

 

hey cut the wires you bollted down. and then check the underhood fuse box for fuse 26. its a 30 amp fuse. i bet its bad. it controls power to the pcm. so install a new fuse. and tape the ends of the broken wires for now to get you home so they won't sort out again.
