Q: The car wouldnt start, the battery was COMPLETELY dead and it was missing a couple main fuses.
My car wouldnt star, the battery was COMPLETELY dead and a couple fuses where out the one that controles the actomatic transmission. Had it towed to a garage they wanted to do all kinds of work to it but they never even replaced the main fuse and they brought the car back to me with a drained battery after i had kysr replace it with a brand new battery. I THINK THEY WHERE TRYING TO HUSTLE MY ELDERLY FATHER OUT OF MONEY. I THINK IT JUST NEEDS THAT FUSE AND THE BATTERY CHARGED.
My car has an automatic transmission.
