HELP my ILX wont start and has no lights
Hi! Hoping someone can help me. My 2015 ILX was parked for 10 days and I tried to start it got a ABS error on the dash then started making a clicking sound and completely died. No lights on the dashboard or anywhere. I purchased a new battery and it didnt work, I checked my fuses but nothing looks blown. My battery terminals were a bit loose but upon securing them I still couldnt get a light on at all. What can be wrong?? Im stuck my car wont move from outside of my house.

you'll need a multimeter to start troubleshooting

Thats really strange, if you connected the new battery correctly you should see lights on the dash. You should check the ground wire coming from the battery cable. Check the charge on the new battery. Ive been served faulty parts right out of the box before.

If you are getting no lights, it's possible you blew the main fuse. The main fuse is designed to prevent frying of everything behind it. I believe it is a roughly $20 part and not saying this is absolutely the case but am passing along as an option to investigate.
