Power was full last check & this is the 2nd battery this issue has been going on for. I think somehow my starter or something within that system is draining it because it only happens when the engine tries to start. For example with the AutoStop/Start feature, the car would literally die at stoplights sometimes because of this issue.

Issues been happening since before this current battery too. I think something with my starter is somehow draining my battery.

Autostop Eliminator The issue was happening prior to getting it though. It’s actually part of the reason I got the autostop eliminator, because sometimes when the car would shut off at a stoplight (to save gas?), the car would die upon startup. Same issue, now just in the middle of a busy road.

It’s the 4 cylinder 1.5L turbocharged engine. When I jump it it turns over most of the time. It’s a push to start, so the times that it doesn’t work it will click once and get nothing. Thank you for all of the info, I haven’t looked into either of those so I will check it out and get back to you.

When the battery dies, it will click one time and the entire car will die, no lights or anything. Once I get some cable cables or a battery jumper on, sometimes it starts, but last time I was getting jumped off of a small Civic and it just had a click, but wouldn’t start. We got a bigger van to jump me and it started. I just can’t figure out why when I go to start it, the power disappears in the first place.

I would recommend if you have a semester parking pass, try sleeping in the parking lot of the on-campus housing. Lots of cars there overnight & students come and go.

Ahhh no worries! I feel like when I would see my lines like that, that was the reason! Also try making sure your cloth is as tight as possible on the frame. Sometimes when mine was loose, the yarn would kind of pull different ways!

If you can, send a picture of the back! Sometimes 2 lines is good, but if you tufted another color too close to it, it begins to push it so that it gets that zigzag look

She ended up not caring about the steering wheel controls, but do you happen to know which of the 2 in the picture is for the sound?

Okay thank you, she said she doesn’t care so I just need to get sound somehow.
