...i left my parking lights on the previous day and figured that out today (cuz im an idiot) and didnt realize it..well i get up this morning and try to start the car it wont turn on and i dont get any electricity...so once i get back from my Classes and get home i jump start the car and it starts up but it idles really low..so i let the car charge for about 10mins then turned if off..then on again to make sure it was okay..well i get home from work and decide to take it for a spin i get in and everything comes on but when i go to turn it on i get this RAPID clicking from my Relay?? what is the problem? did i not have it charged long enough? HALP!

Which relay are you referring this to?

bdubnyc

Oh sorry it sounds like its coming from my Main Relay under the Driver Side Dash..thing is is that i just changed the relay cuz i was having starting issues in the heat but once i changed it it worked fine..but now this is happening ever since i drained the battery..

Sounds like you killed the battery. Try putting it on a slow charge to bring it up. But it sounds like it's done...

Well i just went and tried to start it again..it seems the battery wasnt charged long enough? i guess cuz the lights began to dim and the fuel pump priming sounded really weak..so i guess i should just buy a new battery?

i drive a honda

deep cycle it, not fast.


rapid clicking means its not strong enough

I have no technical input here, only input from my experience. I killed my battery and dealt with the same exact noise you're talking about. Scared me at first because I was actually messing with the main relay before that. Turned out to just be the dead battery. Charge it up or get a new battery if your current one is shot and you should be fine

Well i went and Re-jumped the car today and it started back up..but this time i let it charge for about 15-20 mins this time! then i let it sit for another 10mins then i took if for like a 20min drive through the back roads and got on it pretty good! then got home from work went out and it started right up!

Only thing im worred is that it seems like my idle is REALLY low like when i pull to a stop my idle drops and seems like its almost about to die but it doesnt? whats wrong? is it cuz my ECU needs to re-learn my new MAP's? or what? when i coast in neutral its fine it idles just below 1K..only when i come to a complete stop it idles really low like its about to die?
