Recently repaired from a front end collision the battery tray was damaged preventing me from securing the battery. Decided to relocate to the trunk (the problems begin) the car acted like it was over heating which turned out to be a ground problem. Fixed that. Then rather than running two lines from engine compartment to the truck I grounded it to the back seat bolt (where the seatbelt is secured) I tested the power and everything checked out however when I tried to start the car the lights on the dashboard flashed and there was a crazy beeping noise from behind the radio. The car will turn over once then nothing but the strange beeping from behind the stereo. I moved the battery back for giggles and I get the same results. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm all out. One other thing is if you try and turn on the lights they don't come on but all the lights on the dashboard do..... It's driving me batty!

Sounds like your battery might be dead.

You obvuously have a bad ground or short circuit somewhere. Undo everything that you did when you relocated the battery.

Thanks all I sorted it out. The postive side of the passenger headlight was nicked which caused the short.
