Hey everyone, <br><br>I have recently have begun
experincing a problem<br>with my '89 festiva. It's kind of
hard to explain<br>but here goes, I recently bought a
new battery for<br>my car and replaced the cable ends
at the same time. well now for some reason the
battery won't <br>hold a charge. The really weird thing
is I have <br>begun to hear a "clicking" noise
coming from somewhere behind the speedometer I suppose
from the engine compartment. the noise seems to
coincide with the car losing all internal lights<br>and of
course after that once I shut the car off it won't start
again, I have had the battery and<br>alternator tested
and both checked out ok. Has anyone else had this
problem and if so could you fill me in as to what I
should be doing to fix this problem. Thank you!!!
