348 Battery Update. I'm an idiot!

Yep, it is official, I have virtually no mechanical abilities. On Saturday I checked the battery on/off switch as mentioned here in the trunk and it was on. I then proceeded to break out the lug nut wrench and floor jack to remove the tire to gain access to the battery. I loosened the lug nuts and then tried to move the jack into place. To my suprise the jack was to large and would not fit under the car. With no other options I was about to dial the tow truck when I decided to check the engine compartment again. I checked where I had been hooking up the battery charger and cables. Well inside the lid marked with the + sign there are 3 nuts and the + on the cover lines up over the middle nut. Well as you have already probably gathered I was not hooking up the charger and cables to the middle nut, thus no current was making it to the system. As soon as I hoooked the charger to the middle nut I heard all sorts of electrical things happening. I left the charger on for a few mintues and then she fired up ASAP. I checked everything else out as she warmed up and then I took her out for a 3 hour run. The long winter wait is officially over and damn did it feel good to be behind the wheel again! Thanks again for the help guys. If it were not for you guys saying try to fix it yourself, I would have wasted a couple hundred $ on a tow truck and dealer service. Yes, I now have the battery tender hooked up. Thanks again for the help, this is whay I love FChat.

 

Now I know what that vibration and shaking was. Just kidding, that is one mistake I knew not to make.
