have left my booster pack on charge all night and it has full power but when i attach to the battery its showing almost half empty.
still not got power to main beam, dipped etc but do have indicators.
the engine does turn but seems like its not got enough power to spark it into life.
am i missing something??
i still have a wire that i have no idea where it goes, it is only a shortish one and white in colour (but all wires seem to be different and been rewired by previous owner) but think it may have something to do with the lights that arnt working so will try from ignition (5th terminal that is spare - to fuse box? or should it go somewhere else??????
please help has missis is giving me a load of stick lol

earths ?
or have other wires been damaged internally so aren't showing.

If the starter is working from the ignition then you've cracked the low power wiring.
If the starter isn't turning fast enough the it's battery or lead from battery to starter or starter or earth return from starter (engine) to battery.

i have checked the other wiring to see if it has been effected when burnt out but cant find anything wrong with the other wires.
the engine is turning but not enough to spark it into life and my battery pack was drained in minutes. i am going to try tomorrow to get a someone to give me a boost with cables to see if thats the problem.
i gave up on it in the end and started to fit my bucket seats instead.
i know the battery was ok and had plenty of life before this unfortunate event... will post tomorrow if not sorted or will just get a vehicle elecy in to do it.
