I can't get my turboII to do anything, this is what it does, u go to turn the key to start the engine and it does nothing, all u can here is the starter relay click, i noticed that "None" of my dash lights are coming on, the only one that comes on is the brake light when the emegency brake is on.pretty much everything else work electronically such as the headlights and whatnot..Its like the computer is not gettn any power when u try to start the car. I dont know if the security system is jamed on it or something,...Need some serious help...Thanks

since you say you just replaced the battery and cables take a good look at where the connections are mounted (starter and ground) although you may think you got them tight enough, constant vibration can cause them to loosen up quickly. The amount of amps to turn on your brake light is not that high in comparison as the amount of amps it takes your starter to engage. WHat caused you to replace the battery in the first place? Just because the battery is new does not mean it cannot be discharged by a draw in your electircal system. What happens when you jump start it?
