Here is what was happening yesterday I started installing m3 mirrors. I have a 2001 coupe lx. Anyways to get to the stock mirror I popped out the interior door panel. I mounted my m3 mirrors then worked on the electrical. Here is where the problems started. I could get the passenger side mirror to work but not the drivers. Then i turned the car on 2 clicks but did not start it and the radio and odometer began to flash illuminated and non. Then I figured if i started the car it mite stop and wen i went to start the engine began to click and would not start. I am hoping i just killed the battery but am not sure can somebody help me please. I only included the m3 mirror thing to see if anybody could figure out from wut i was doing if it caused the problem.

My first thought when I read the title was "Hmmm he probably installed something electronic" Anyway...Check the main ignition fuse, it's a fat assed green one in the engine bay fuse box on the top right edge if your standing near the passanger tire. I had the same problem once. It took me 3 "Effin" days to figure it out. Hope that helps dude.

Also try jumping the battery

just sounds like the battery is dead. the give away is the rapid clicking.

I had the same proble a few weeks ago. I bought a new battery and the car started fine. The rapid clicking is your car trying to start, but because the battery is "probably" shot its not getting any/enough current to start the car. It could possibly be a fuse as well, if you turn your car on and the radio, indoor lights, or even your headlightsor power doorlocks still work trying boosting your car, if there is enough current to run those options your battery might have enough charge to star. if none of them work then it is definately your battery. good luck!!!

just my two cents!!
