HELLPPP, car dead
Changed the shocks yesterday and test drove the car, woke up this morning to change the spark plugs and when I open the door there were no lights, put the key in and no power what so ever. It has been raining here pretty good, does anybody know what it could be?

Leave the hood,door,hatch open?
Charge up the battery and check for current draw with key off (hood light off). Rain (humidity) can do funny things like corrode electical connections and cause shorts.

Feel kind of dumb, when I replaced the steering wheel cover it was getting dark so I turned on the light on the mirror. Well when I got the battery charged and back in, the light came in the car and in my head. Some dope left my light on
