I just did that on my 56 fun time

Idk how knowledgeable you are on minis but ive built mine from the ground up. Every trim piece bolt and panel. Lemme know if you need helps :3

Fairly, the mini isn’t starting this morning. I think battery dead, and I’ve got a trickle charger hooked up, but a second opinion would be great

palmtopsebby.bsky.social•15 days ago

Ye ingot you. Theres a ground wire on the left side of the engine bay that mounts from the engine to the car. (On the engine mount) If its not properly hooked up it wont start and wont make noises. However if you get in the car and the seatbelt beeps are slow, then its a dead battery.

Also could be the starter wire got unplugged. I know those lil connectors are a pain in the butt

That may be it. I know mine had issues with the sunshade mirror lights would stay on 24/7 cuz the slides to turn the light off were broken

LMFAO I THOUGHT YOU WERE LIKE INSULTING ME IN OLDE ENGLISH DLFJRIDJF

and yeah I tightened down that ground strap, next time I go out there I’ll double check both the grounds
The beeps did sound a little slow
