1994 Quest Won't Start

[Bartolo]

We don't use this car very much. The battery was purchased in April of 2008 and tests OK with a multitester. We have one of those combination jump-starters/compressors and it will not start the car. No lights or accessories at all come on. No noises when ignition is turned.

I looked at the various fuses and the ones I could examine look OK. Don't know what those one inch cubed-shaped fuses are or how to examine or extract them.

Don't know if this is pertinent, but when I took it to be inspected in February, I noticed that the speedometer was not working.

Any ideas for further checks?

Thanks,Bartolo

Sorry, false alarm. I wasn't jiggling enough with the jump starter. It took lots of fiddling with the negative ground on the chassis before it started.

It must have been the battery after all.

That was an expensive fix
