I was putting in my load resistors for my switchbacks today. Now my car will not start.

When I try to start up the car, the navi glitches out, the gas and car temp start up but then drop and start again, and when I turn on the car, it trys to start but wont. It doesn't even sound like normal start up.

What did I do? Fuse maybe? Battery?

The battery needed a jump. This is weird because the battery was fine today (I remember checking the green indicator). But after I installed the load resistors my battery went south. Any ideas?

If it's working fine now then i say forget about it.

thats some weird stuff....do you have OEM battery?

^yea that's definitely strange.. resistors shouldn't cause this.. only if its draining the battery somehow..

Yes, I'm running the OEM battery. Like ifirahse said, I'll just chalk this one up.

The green indicator only monitors 1 cell. Car batteries usually have 6 cells. Cells don't always go bad at the same time.

However, if you didn't leave the trunk open for a long period of time with the car off, I would double check your wiring for the resistors.

when i FIRST did my headlights on my last TL, my battery died.... why?

because

a) its a crappy OEM battery
b) i was working on the car for like 3 hours with the radio jamming, interior lights on etc..etc...
