The Stereo System

Dover and Shalayne's Christmas project was installing a new stereo system in the green car that they were taking to Utah. The old stereo system was awful and didn't have a CD player or and auxiliary jack. They got it in okay but then the car wouldn't start. It started easily from a jump. It took us 5 days and so much frustration to solve the problem. It turned out to be a simple problem. The battery connection hadn't been reattached tightly enough. We were trying to fix it all ourselves, we had the battery tested, it was fine, we thought maybe it was the alternator, that would have been massively expensive to fix. We read and read about related issues on the internet. It was from Dover calling the stereo manufacturer that he got the clue about the battery connections and sure enough they were lose. One of the connection wouldn't tighten so it had to be replaced, but it was easy to do. In the mean time we had to drive Dover to work and function with only one car while we tried to figure out what was wrong. It was stressful and time consuming, but we solved the problem ourselves with only a $2 part. The stereo system is really nice and made the 3 day drive to Utah much nicer for them. The green car was packed when they left.  I have no idea how they got everything in the car. They were squished!  Unfortunately we didn't have time to take pictures :(
