new battery and dead car

[junior]

I changed the battery ( a new red top optima, yes fully charged per my smart charger). Old battery had shorted cell. I have lights, horns, bells, etc, but push start button and nothing! Any ideas out there? Car started bfore

My guess is you have enough juice for the above items, but not enough juice for the starter. I've had issues with the Optima right out of the box, twice, just FYI.

Finally back on the road, better and stronger than ever The problem was a broken wire about half way in the tunnel! While at the shop I had a few things done, and now have 650.2rwhp[video]mvi 0429[/video]

What wire, where did it go, what does it do, and how did it break? Inquiring minds want to know.
