HELP - trying to get home for Xmas!!Replaced battery after tested weak on '98 Mits. 3000GT. not turning over.

Question:
The new battery is not turning over at all. I thought I may have bought a bad battery, but just got it checked and it has enough power. My alternator was checked when I got old battery checked, so I know it's not that. Any quick fixes I could look at under the hood before getting it towed? All connections look good to me, but I'm not exactly a mechanic.

2003 ford taurus ac problem.?

a dying battery will loose its power fast, when attempting to turn the engine over fast enough to fire up that engine.It also wil put one hell if a strain on that starter as well.The battery on its way out, a starter that is showing its age..pop.. starter might be crap now.
If you can get to ware the hevey red cable bolts to the starter, try this.put car in park, set brake, turn the ing switch on, take a jumper cable, put one of the red clamps in the pos[+] side of battery
firmly touch and press down the other red clamp to the bolt on starter [ for get the black clamps this time ]
be ready for some big sparks. If the engine turns over,and starts, starter is ok.
If all you get is hot cables , big sparks and no cranking, starter is probably shot

My 1999 Chevy Malibu giving an incorrect fuel reading. what can i do?

Battery power has to get to the starter in two different ways. First, the big red wire from the battery has to go to the switch solenoid connection on the starter motor. Then another much smaller wire from your ignition switch has to connect to the solenoid control terminal so that the solenoid switch connects your battery to the motor when you turn the ignition switch to "start".
