    Default HELP! WILL PAY IN CASH!

    I'm kind of in a predicament where I need someone to help me out with my car without an auto shop destroying my funds.

    If anyone is in the Athens area willing to help I will pay cash + buy you dinner for tonight, or breakfast tomorrow morning if you're able to help me start my car (not by push-start or jumping). Or just give me some advice on what I should do by replying to this thread.

    I put a thread in general tech but I figure I could get more traffic here:
    Starting Troubleshoot (HELP!!)

    PLEASE MODS DON'T DELETE!! I need to get this solved!

    In return I give you a funny:

    If I was actually in GA I wouldnt mind coming to help. I did it for Caito, or however u spell his name, I would do it for u. It may not even be hard to solve.

    When you put the key in does ANYTHING come on? If not check the master fuse for the car, I blew mine once when I had the civic. A $4 part

    want to know the cheating way to fix it???

    Find out which wire is the starter wire coming from your ignition switch under the column. Trace it back far enough to were you can run a wire from the ignition switch to the hot on the starter. Its an easy quick fix that will take about 5 minutes and about 4 feet of wire. LMK when it works and i accept paypal!

    my buddy took off the battery cables to see if my car would run off the alternator and while taking one off it broke

    $2 and a new terminal later problem was fixed

    didn't seem like the terminal was that corroded because I had cleaned them off with baking soda + water not too long ago but I guess it can only go so far
