I'm assuming this is some sort of problem with my PATS system as it seems to be the starter being disabled. is there something I can do to beef up the system or has anyone had this happen before? a quick reply would be helpful, and I know about search, but I haven't found anything actually useful as of yet. My PATS light would blink and the car wouldn't try to crank if I turned it off with the wipers on...go figure. Could your wipers have been on? 98 Contour V6 MTX, T-Red, 150k mi.

I actually had suspicions that my battery is dying on me even tho according to autozone it's still good. ?-if I did a battery relocation, could I basically just buy some thick ass 0 gauge wire for the positive, and then ground out the negative in the rear? if that would work I'm thinkin I'll pickup a yellow topper or a red top and mount it all up in the trunk. 98-98.5 Silver Contour SVT short shifter Panasonic HU 2 12" MTX 8000's MA Audio mono block amp homemade box
