hello my name is Ben. I have a 1990 red laredo with chrome. Mostly stock. no lift yet. CAI and sound system updraded and HID's in.

Sounds like a good start Ben

[bcrosson92]

thank you. I am having a problem with it. it won't start. battery tests at 12v. and there is no sound when you turn the key. not sure if it's the starter or alt.

[bcrosson92]

it will start if you jump it.

Sounds like you have dirty connections on the battery cables

Welcome to the site, Ben. First thing to do... whatever Steve says. :D

[bcrosson92]

connections are all clean. it doesn't even try to turn over

Ben, have you removed the battery cables and cleaned the posts and the inside of the connector? They make a very inexpensive tool for that. I have to do that once in awhile myself

[bcrosson92]

it started this morning. it did sit for a while. I've been out on workers comp and been doing stuff to get it to pass inspection.
