Hi everyone, I've not posted on here much before but here is my situation...
I am up in North Michigan, visiting family, and I'm trapped by the winter!
I have a 1998 Mitsubishi Montero 3.5; I removed the alarm system some 5 years ago and bypassed the starter interrupt. About 2 weeks ago, I had a mechanic replace the turn signal switch and timing belt. Car drove fine all the way up here, then sat for two days. Went to start it, battery was dead; I jumped the car, but no luck. Left it charging on a trickle charger for 24 hours, still won't start; and I have plenty of battery (headlights on for an hour, etc) left.
I have noticed a clicking/ticking noise from the passenger wheel well when I try to start. I also noticed the radio keeps asking for the security code when I try to start. I checked the alarm bypass, and it seems like it is still alright. I check the wiring to the starter, and it appears to be fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing the problem?
