    OBD no connection for emissions test

    Both work so I guess it’s not the fuse. Only difference from last emissions test is I switched over to a CTEK tender but I am using the cigarette adapter. The old tender cable was installed down near the tow hook, maybe it got in the way of the OBD cables somehow?

    OBD no connection for emissions test

    I will take a look at the fuse. I brought it to the same place as last time and it worked fine.

    Whats Latest Battery Advice?

    That is certainly one way to do it and maybe I will. I had to take the bolts out because the old tender was connected between the head of the bolt and the terminal. My plan was to hook this one up the same way but maybe Ill try you way. Either way I lost the nut and will just refresh the bolt...

    Whats Latest Battery Advice?

    Looks like I need a new battery terminal bolt and nut, I believe it is 10/32 carriage bolt and lock washer with serrated flange or at least that is what was on there. Is that what came from the factory? Would a local hardware store have what I need?

    I don’t own a charger. It was also my understanding that our batteries need a slow charging process. I just bring it to Autozone, hopefully after this I won’t have to do anything besides keep it on the tender.

    Whats Latest Battery Advice?

    I purchased one and it has been delivered. Now I need to remove the battery get it charged and hook everything up. I will report back after it being on the CTEK but it may be a while since it’s the middle of winter here and Im not very excited to do the whole battery swap thing yet again..

    Both of those tenders you linked are 12V and the Jr. is 6V. Maybe it is a matter or the Jr. being too wimpy for my car at least. Im going to try the CTEK and hope it holds. $100 is ok with me if my car will start when I need it to.

    Good info, I will look into that. The alarm guts are under the car so I would have to take the trays off. I’ll revisit that next time they need to come off

    Whats Latest Battery Advice?

    Hard to tell how fast it decays, I would say at least a month. What are some possible parasites? Is there a way to find out and button things up? I can certainly try the larger tender, in my research the Jr. should have been good enough but that’s a good suggestion.

    Whats Latest Battery Advice?

    Having some battery issues here. The battery for my ‘06 GT is less than two years old. I live in WI so I don’t drive it much at all in the winter or in bad weather. When not in use I put it on a Batter Tender Junior. It is wired directly to the terminals and fished through the front end via...

    Failed Gauges and Battery

    It’s the Battery Tender Jr. I believe, the one that I was recommended from this forum. Rich hooked up the terminals and ran it through the front end for easy connection. One strange thing I noticed is that one of the rear break lights is out whenever I put the key in the ignition and the...

    Failed Gauges and Battery

    Random battery question: Would your battery completely die if you left a door(or front/rear compartment) open and it was on a tender, and it was sitting for a month or so?
