I have a 99 Saturn SC1, with a remote starter and a sub. The past few weeks my car has been acting funny. I got a new battery in January this year and the remote starter in January last year.

The problem is I go to start the car and it won't turn over, or click, it just loses all power. Before I turn the key there is power to my car (the door dings and my clock is on, dome light comes on). Last time it happened when I would pop the hood or shut the door I would get power again but have trouble getting it to start, like the battery was dead. So I think I have a shorted wire somewhere. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be?

Did you check the battery conections ? Clean the contacts on the battery and check the wire that goes from the battery to the starter sometimes the wire comes lose and causes the same problem you have. So before buying anything just check that wire. Let us know what you find.

make sure your batt conections are snugged down. and check your ground to the chassis. i run extra grounds off my batt to the chassis and body.
