Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I thought installing a new battery would solve all my battery issues once and for all. Little did I know after installing it and taking it for a short drive that I wouldn't get any power to the car. The battery is installed as it was when it was running but now I get no door lights and no dash lights upon twisting the key. Only light I see is the dashboard light from time to time. I cannot open my frunk and I don't know how to get into the area to check my battery. Help please!

What year is your car and did you tighten down the battery cables?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Problem found, I used an old battery charger and connected it to the terminals in the door. On like the 10th try I got the hood open and saw my battery cable was almost off the battery. Tightened down real good and closed it. Plugged in the maintainer. Mods you can lock.
