Joy turns to Frustration!

I finally get my Beast back from the shop after ditz rear ends me. They did a good job, but not too pleased by the two small scratches they caused...even more unhappy that the manager whips out touch up paint.

Ok, I can deal with that later.

I get home and paint my ashtray and front console cover. No real problems, got it put back together this morning.

Then I decide to take a drive -- turn the key and only clicking! I checked all of the electrical systems that are on the console and verified that they work. So it isnt battery (I had initially tried to charge it, but it took no ampers)...my guess is the starter...any other thoughts or helps out there?

I would definitely check the battery cables and make sure they are snug, as I'm sure they were disconnected while it was at the shop. Hopefully it's that simple...if not, that definitely stinks. Please keep us posted.

You were closest deb, dead battery. I guess between the shop working on it and my modding on Sat, it dwindled down. She is charging now so hopefully it will be ok for tomorrow!

Thanks for the suggestions all.

Also, after a rear end hit, the fuel stop is engaged and you will have to reset the fuel pump. This is not the case in your situation, but keep that in mind.
Good luck with everything.
