i didnt find anything buddy ,,i cleaned and put die electric grease on x108 , i guess i should investigate this area more, i took off the engine comp fuse box ,cleaned it and brushed with well with die -electric grease ! i also did it to ecm ,i have cleaned a bunch of connection and applied the die-electric grease to ! .i noticed also ,the windshield wipers, radio sound, the radio comes on and function but no sound no matter if i turn all the way up , gas gauge , all other door locking mech besides driver door worked again after shaking and prepping the x108 section . my biggest problem is the # 10 fuse keeps blowing and the ecm relay will click about 20 times very fast off and on . if i open the trunk ,shut the door or connect /disconnect battery it does this waits several minutes and wil do it again .what causes the # 7 relay under the hood to do that . i notice also ,with my test light that has positive/negative showings ,i got a large majority of fuses in the engine comp that show ground /green light , this is strange to me .its been 3 months since it ran ...
If the engine won’t crank over you need to first test the battery and starting system circuit. If they are working fine and you suspect that is might be an engine problem, try putting a socket and breaker bar on the crankshaft and turn over the engine manually. It should only take maybe 70ish foot pounds of torque to turn over the engine. If it is extremely difficult to turn over or even impossible then the engine is seized.
@@hunterautomotive4842 Thank you for your explanation I have the same car but I have had 4 batteries and 3 starters that have died. One time the cables that are connected to the battery were heat up very hot. What could it be?

Inspect the wiring in the connector between the battery and the front support bar. The wiring connector labeled x108 kind of behind the drivers headlight. This is where the fuel pump module and fuse #10 have something in common. That’s where I would start based on the information you gave me.

Not in this case. The starter is fighting either a seized engine or engine with broken timing belt(s) where the valve hit a piston (interference engines only). Of course it's going to draw a crazy amount of amps.

U have a bad ground add a new main ground wire right over the old one and new grounding point off the block
@@adamb4093 ThankYou Adam , it certainly cant hurt , this car has been parked since sept, 2020 !
Can I ask you a question
Hello I have the same car how do you know if you need an engine Mind strives to start up but it won't turn over
If the engine won’t crank over you need to first test the battery and starting system circuit. If they are working fine and you suspect that is might be an engine problem, try putting a socket and breaker bar on the crankshaft and turn over the engine manually. It should only take maybe 70ish foot pounds of torque to turn over the engine. If it is extremely difficult to turn over or even impossible then the engine is seized.

Lol u can't tell by looking at it while u try to crank it
What's problem 😊
So you call 600amp draw NOT an electrical problem.....WOW
Not in this case. The starter is fighting either a seized engine or engine with broken timing belt(s) where the valve hit a piston (interference engines only). Of course it's going to draw a crazy amount of amps.
@@markfothebeastwhy not just remove the starter and retest and then crank the 19mm bolt on the harmonic balancer to see if something is stuck
Hello can I send u a video to show you something please
please do !
