Hey guys I have a 97 Cobra and I havent started it in a week. So saturday i go out to the garage and start her up . . 2 minutes later it dies and the dash battery light is going nuts. Turn off and on again but right when the key goes into the on position, i hear a constant clicking coming from the CCRM box in the fender. Ohh also while the key is in on position, the fan comes on and off all while the little box in fender is clicking away . .. Theft light will flash sometimes nuts and sometime it wont .. but the dash battery light goes nuts ..

Bad Fuse? Bad Engine Ground? Last thing I did was replace the driver side o2 sensor ...

Check battery terminals, physically grab and pull on the battery cables to check tightness.

had the same problem once

sounds like battery may be on its way out , shorted plates ? all cables must be checked sometimes they go bad on the inside ... all electric stuff must be checked real good , I had almost the same problem the battery was the culprit after lots of checking ....... just went bad no warning
