    not sure. they smashed a mercedes window also parked next to his tacoma. when he went out and beat the guys ass, the vandals buddy came at him with a screwdriver.

    so possibly option C? unless using a screwdriver to start a car is only for the movies? i dunno if that actually works. Our one work truck doesnt even need a key in the ignition for it to start! haha

    Yeah if you fuck up the ignition enough with the screw driver you can use it to start it on most cars. I dunno about now days though with chipped keys

    Finally got some of the white stuff on the way!!! We are currently experiencing what we Utahn's like to call, "the warm before the storm." Strong winds out of the South ahead of the front warm us up. But once they shift and start coming from the north, you know you're in for it!

    Also, just got home from a four hour ordeal at the doctors and then chasing down scripts at a 24 hr pharmacy. My oldest has a double ear infection and needed antibiotics. Wife also has sinus issues and they put her on an antibiotic...like a dummy, I didn't have them check me out. If i don't feel better by Tuesday I will drag myself back.

    You ain't kidding! My work car had the front window smashed about two years ago. We were still vacuuming glass out of places until the day I turned it in a few months ago for my new one.

    I had to put a heater core in a car pulled the dash heard this loose change rattling noise in the vents decided to shake it around and glass was falling out. Called the customer and asked if she wanted to spend some extra $$$ in labor and I would get as much as I could out and vacuum all behind the dash and stuff. She was ecstatic that I would do that. Her car had the DS window smashed in, in an smash and grab.

    I woke up this morning ready to use this car with my girls. It was accidentally put way with the switch in the “on” position. The battery was dead yesterday but I figured I would charge it overnight. Fast forward to this morning and the thing is still dead. Any help would be appreciated.


    @Redmann wake up you electrical mad man! Help!

    I would think it should still charge with the switch to on. We have battery backups at work that are constantly being charged and they always have a load on them.

    Sorry I'm of no help on this one. Make sure the charger is working. Take a battery reading when not plugged in. Then take one when it is plugged in. It should be higher when plugged in.

    That's about all i got on this one.

    This is the electrical circuit it runs in. It is a dual battery 6v setup.

    We used it about a month ago. The switch has a key that reads off, on and run. Off = no lights or movement, On = Light and music work & Run = runs, lights and music. So we put it away on the On position meaning that the lights were probably flashing draining the batteries completely.

    It may have drained the duals completely. It is usually luck of the draw if they will recharge from completely dead. We use to have to buy new batteries if they sit for a cpl months with no charge. You can try a trickle charger clamped directly to the black and red ends and see it if takes a charge or unhook the blue jumper wire and see if they charge individually.

    The children shall not suffer!!!

    I think you may be right on the money with them being to dead to re charge. I may have to just buy new ones. Online chinese batteries are $15 a pop but locally they are $25 and available to pick up today. We will ride this thing today even if it means I have to push it and sing as I am doing so!
