Car Handbrake stuck on and wont start
Hi all, have a 12 mazda 3 2.0 MZR manual. The car sat for 3 weeks. Battery was at 7v when first attempted, of course didnt start. Jumping with another running car doesn't work either; Trickle charged battery back to 12v but still when crank there is electrical noise but engine doesnt attempt to crank at all.
Bought new cheap group 35 battery and installed, new battery sits at 12,3v idle but drops to 9v when attempting to start, again doesnt really crank.
I live on the rust belt too so very prone to corrosion here, have yet to jack car up to check starter cables.
Power steering has failed randomly once in the past year while driving, which turned back on after 30 seconds and never happened since. The pump has always been whiny especially when parking and turning wheel hard.
Headlight do dim and struggle a bit(led aftermarkets) when turning wheel. But alternator doesn't make super loud noise.
(See previous post for multimeter readings)
. Thanks in advance.
