So a while back I had a dead battery. Dead dead dead. So I got a new battery. Used an external jump-start style charger to fire up the Camaro, backed her out into the driveway, swapped the battery. Started her up again, drove her into the garage, mission accomplished.
Fast forward to more recently, a few weeks later. Something has gone nuts. First off, there is no sign of power. The inside headlamp doesnt light up. When I try and put a Battery Tender (slow charger) on it, it tells me "AC Power Applied, Battery Not Connected Properly".
When I try the same external charger I used in the first paragraph, it acts like nothing happens. If I connect it to my truck, it lights up a green light and says charging. When connected to the Camaro... well it might as well be attached to a bag of dirt. It acts like it is disconnected, no light or anything.
I dont see anything wrong with my setup. The positive cable is attached to the positive battery post, the negative to the negative. But it is acting like there is no battery at all.
Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks
