I get out of work at 6 am this morning, and go to start my ST and NOTHING, and I mean nothing. No clicks, no turns, NOTHING! I figure my battery is dead and get a friend to give me a jump, but this is where it gets interesting. jump doesnt work right away, but after lettign the key sit in the ignition I was finnaly abel to get it to turn over and then eventually get it to start. Problem solved I thought. We take the Cables off and theyre piping hot, they actually gave me a blister on my finger thats how hot they were.
I start to drive hoem and then my ABS light starts flashing and my speedometer goes NUTS. SO I baby it home and realize whenever I am going really slow or dam near stopped, it sems fine. But if moving it goes nuts. I get home and start tinkering in my driveway, and when I rev the enginme its seems fine even though the RPMs are high, lookign normal. Turn the radio on, still okay. tuen on the A/C and it dies, immediately, just flatlined dead. I try to restart the ST, and nothing. Now heres what I coudl figure out:
I turn the key, and a couple of lights woudl come on reel dimly, byut leave it in and all woudl go on after about 8 seconds and really bright. Hit the key and click and they all go off. Hit the brakes, fuel gauge goes down and it seems power leaves the cluster, but then it slowly comes back. then goes down, then comes back all on its own. turn the blower motor switch and it sucks all power away and dies. Also when the lights are real dim with the key in the run position, the Anit-theft light blinks in a crazy way. Nto normal.
I am pretty certain its a bad ground somewhere, but I have no clue where to start and ANY help would be appreciated. Sorry for the long read, Im just seriously worried here and I need to get this done soon.
