So my starter went out before, i had to change it and it fixed the problem before.
My battery died the other night and i tried to jump it, wouldn't start.
well i had this issue before and it was fixed by loosening the hot wire off the battery for a few seconds and putting it back on, worked just fine untill my battery had died.
WELL, for some reason my blinker lights would come on, but not flash just be solid. But it would start, BUT they wouldn't turn off. Even removed the fuses.
So had to take the hot wire off of battery again, Put it back on, the lights weren't on but would not crank what so ever.


Just really confused.
Also last night it tried to start after i placed it back on, but it tried to crank forever then finally did but kinda puttered out. I tried it again and gave it some gas and it started up and stayed running.

Any help would be great, I love my lil car just has 137k miles on it and want to make it last. Any help ideas and thoughts would be very appreciated.

After seeing a few other post, The only codes i were receiving before anything happened was for the catalytic converter. If anyone sees this and thinks i may have left anything out just ask.

Also its a new battery and starter both about 2 months old.

Sounds like a short/multiple short circuits, since the turn signals are getting power when they shouldn't.

Start with a general check for
-fuses
-grounds
-relays

Then trace the signal light circuit and find out what is causing the issue there.

.......

If you're lucky the signal lights are draining the charging system, and with that issue resolved it will jump start.
