i just had an disturbing night, last night. well i was trying to teach my gf to drive my car at costco and then she stalls out. when she goes and restarts the car there is no power. i open up my hood and i find out the clamp from the wiring harnest to the battery broke in half. therefore the positive had no connection to the battery. I figure once i get my car started it will run.

So i got the car to start and tried to drive it home because i didnt want to pay for a tow. While i was driving, the (ABS/APS)? and brake light turns on and the idle starts to flicker down. Funny thing is that it doesn't stay on for the whole period of the drive. Other than that the drive was fine.

so my question are:

Does anyone know where i can just pick up the clamp for the battery or do they even sell them seperatly?

With the flashing APS and break light flashing, is there something wrong with my car?

Thanks is advance.

 

I die a little inside each time my friend stalls my car or is close to stalling it. You are a brave soul; No one drives my girl but me.

If the clamp i'm thinking about is what you're talking about...any automotive store would have it. Especially somewhere like kragen or autozone. they would be your best bet to check first

 

replace the clamp and you'll be fine. i wouldnt drive the car for long distances in the meantime though...car could just die out. friend had a similar problem with the his family van and that happened

 

Checkers has the clamps in different styles. Pick one. Install. Smile.

 

yea clamp is easy to find....

How many miles on the car for the clamp to break, or maybe too much acid on the clamp itself..

 

harnest, is that rare?

 

Thats what I was thinking!

 

im such an idiot for posting that. haha. anyway thanks for all your feedbacks

 

If you have sounds then you should pick one up from a stereo shop with bigger gauge openings
