Wait...

Have you started the car? Does it still do this while the car is running?

I don't want to start it. there is no radiator.

i am not trying to be a grouch, but this may just be an issue to be taken to somebody closer to you... my brother had some kind of a bug like this and it took 10 hours at a shop to figure it out... it was a shorted radio cable... yikes..

also, please check alternator output and battery static charge levels... these could also affect stuff... if the battery's electromotive force is below par... it may act up like you are describing...

[Ian Bowers]

...how long has the radiator been out, and how long have you been sitting in your car fucking with stuff draining the battery?

Dude, what you have described points to a very low charge in the battery. If this hasn't happened while the car is running, then charge your fucking battery up. Done.

bad ground

[GoKahth8ter]

Battery is weak!! End of story!!

Who cares if the radio/wipers/whatever is fucked if it has no radiator and you can't drive or start it? Start with big problems that keep the car from RUNNING, & then move on to the little ones. It's called prioritization.

Dear god, this is the dumbest electrical thread in R3V history.

[BrettsE30]

does it click when you crank it. dead battery. Why do you need wipers and a radio on a non running car?

[Jaxx_]

you know, I used to think a lot of people on r3v were idiots. This takes the cake, though. fuck.

This make me laugh long time.

[grahamsy2k]

Yeah, its not the battery.

[Wh33lhop]

Elaborate.
