[matt911]

eh ....... one cable goes down to the starter motor , the other to the fuse box , the negative to the chassis ? whats the issue .

You do realise, the black thing is the ecu, and inside the insulation tape is about 90 wires?

Do you smoke a lot of crack?

 

[banther]

Best thing to do is crack open that black box, pull out all the cables (using a sharp jerking motion), blow on them then its really simple to put the cables back in, job done.

​Should help you diagnose any faults with the battery.

Oh dear me. I thought i asked daft questions. As said, one cable goes down to the starter motor , the other to the fuse box , the negative to the chassis

 

[matt911]

Jesus, i should smoke crack. Silly now ofc my friend told me that it was something else thats why i was asking... sorry haha!

Edit,

May as well make this thread worthwhile and ask the other thing,

This small battery i have, why is it used? What are the benefits apart from maybe weight or so.

And i plan to install a small sound system in the future nothing powerful but would this be up top the job?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Nah, that's a race battery.

 

[Cup_Phil]

As above - it's a lightweight race battery and completely not right for a sound system/road car

I guess someone in the past has fitted it - and quite badly looking at the bodged bracket holding it in

Get a normal battery for it

 

[matt911]

I will be doing, i didnt buy mine to destroy at tracks tbh. Is that the original bracket by any chance? To fit the correct size battery in place.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Nope.

 

[Cup_Phil]

No the normal sized battery hooks under those bits on the bottom mount you can see just under the earth cable - then on the right side there's meant to be a clamp holding it in place

Nip to a local scrap yard and take one from any clio
