Rx1 electrical issue

[munskindaddy]

Sled ran fine, got gas, started and moved it, then when we went to leave it was dead. Just a tick tick sound. We jumped it but the gauge cluster just went nuts. It would go up to my speed and work for a second then go blank, back and forth. Will not start without a jump, but my battery shows a 12.7 volt charge that maintains when out of sled. Checked wire harness for rubs or breaks in front, not that. The little block that holds the two fuses is what seems to be making the tick sound. What should I do? This is an 05 Rx1 by the way. Any help will be wonderful. Thanks, Darrell

Load test the battery or have a local garage check it out. If you have another battery to test with that would work as well. You can just use jumper cables to temporarily attach a different battery with the stock one REMOVED. Try that and get back to us.
