i have a problem with my 95 camaro the car was starting and was left alone for a while now it wont start and when i connect the charger to the battery i notice the lights turn on and after a while i try to start it and nothing happens all the inside light go off and will not start. There is an electrical problem but i have not been able to see it. Has someone had a similar problem let me know if you all had a solution.

 

battery cables

 

I was having issues with my Z.

I ended up spending 10 bucks at the local auto parts store... picked up 2 new side post terminals, battery corrosion cleaner, brush and battery terminal protect spray.

clean the heck out of the cable ends and replace the terminals... then spray the battery anti corrosion stuff on. It made a world of difference for mine.

 

Actually... to extend on that some.... If your still rockin the factory type cables, cut the rubber off the end of the cable ends at the battery. where the entire ring is exposed and then clean it off good. I bought my Z28 from a shop with a "locked up motor" and ended up getting it started right up from cutting the rubber off and cleaning. Just cut around the base of the "end" to where you'll expose that ring. Then use some kind of battery terminal silicone to seal it off.

 

thanks guys never tough of that ill do that asap

 

I also have a 95 3.8l camaro with a problem similiar i put in a new engine. and put the wire harness the best way i can i think i might need some photos of a another 3.8l to get a visual if i did it correctly or i diagram anything would help. but my issue is that i can get the engine to turnover anymore it did it like 6 times but i had to stop trying to start it because my fuel line began to leak. i just bought a new starter and i hear it in motion as i turn the engine in the on position. any feed back would be greatly appreciated.

 

problem solved it turned out to be two ground wires that were busted and now the lights are working properly.
