New battery, No crank, no lights, no nothing...

Post by coopersguy »

Hi,

I have an 83 323i. Drove into garage last year. Now with a fresh new battery, no crank, no lights. Absolutely quiet. Fusible link? If yes, where is it? or replace all relays in engine fuse box?

Thanks for your help! :(

Check your ground connections .. they can give some hasslte as well .. bad connection in the fuse box can also be a problem like you mentionned yourself.

Did the car sit for a year in a dry garage ??

Good luck

Clean all your fuses and the terminals

And your grounds too.
