ANNNNDDDD...its the battery.

borrowed my neighbors battery charger which reads percent battery charge. yeah, 8%.

at 8% charge, the battery would barely make the clicking noise.

at 25% the locks would barely function.

at 35% again, the locks would barely function and the wipers attempted to work.

at 50% charge, the wipers would work and the locks would work.

at 75% charge, the dash actually lit up and when I tried cranking it over, it gave me the "ford" push....meaning it "clicked" the starter ever so barely.


stay tuned. I'm thinking almost full battery charge before this beast cranks up. sooo many electronics to power up and likely a high torque starter.

will probably end up buying a new battery lol
