Re: Help!
battery could be bad. these cars are battery hogs, they don't run right without a fully charged battery

Re: Help!
you could try taking the battery out again waiting an hour or so and then trying it all over again

Re: Help!
I think I found the connector, it is the one coming out of the main loom from the ecm right in front of the wiper motor. Now I put power to it from my test light and I didnt hear any pump sound. Do I Have bad pumps?

Re: Help!
unless you absolutely need the car tonight, take the battery out and let the car rest overnight. if it is a vats issue every time you turn the key you're adding time to the lock out
