QuestionHi Van. We were given a 1989 Cutlass Cierra, 3.3 L recently. We've put in a brand new battery. I started the car and it turned over the first time no problem. 2 weeks have passed and I cannot even get a click. Nothing works.
Also, the driver's side window went down when we received the car, but would not go back up. When I checked the car after installing the battery, all the other windows worked (very slowly) but nothing with the driver's side. I have taken off the door panel. The plastic track seems to be in one piece, but the window will not budge.
I have no knowledge of the repair history.
AnswerHi Tina,
Something, possibly a glove compartment light, or under hood light, probably stayed on, and drained the new battery.
Use some jumper cables, and see what happens.
