[QUOTE="KTMrida4life, post: 8010751, member: 637865"] If you still have your stock battery.. and especially the original OEM battery terminal clamps, thats probably the problem. Ive seen so many crazy things happen to a car because of a crappy connection to a crappy battery. Car wont turn over, lights dim, alarm goes off, gauges bouncing around, headlights dimming, bad voltage drop.. etc. Buy a better battery, preferably an AGM of some kind, and once it comes time to install it cut the old terminal clamps off, redo the factory wires powering the car with new ring terminals (cut them, restrip and crimp) and I bet it makes quite the difference.
