8v no startie...



First off, check your fuses and make sure none of them are blown.  Rotted
gromets in the fire wall/rain tray can allow water in and it sometimes falls
on the fuse panel causing a short (ask me how I know), this can happen
without opening the hood.  Aside from that conserning the posts after the
one below, if the fuse's are ok, check the wiring behind it and make sure
that checks out alright (no bubbled wires or exposed wires).  If everything
seem ok to this point, have the battery checked, water may have made a
connections somewhere causing a drain on the battery and depleating it.
There is the chance that the starter finally had enough at a very
unoppertune time and drained the battery as well or the altenator which will
also cause a battery to crap out.  Have all of these things checked if you
can't find the smoking gun.
