hi i am a new member but a long time reader. I just got my bonneville today and when i brought it home i shut it off but now it wont turn back on. It is most likely the key and or VATS but i cleaned the key and it still dont work. Also when rolling up my windows/sunroof it goes really slow. It is probaly the battery but im not sure. The car does not crank at all. it clicks. Ive read that i should clean the battery terminals.

My other question is about installing an aftermarket radio. I bought the harness and kit but there is no sound at all.

Last question. My hud dont work so what should i do. I dont know what fuse it is. It doesnt say anything in the manual.

If you hear clicking while attempting to start, there'* no fault with the VATS. I agree with you that it is a battery, terminal or connectoin problem.

I assume that there was sound with the factory radio?

What year is your car? We want to give you the right fuse location for the HUD. Before we suspect fuses though, try moving the HUD dimmer slider up & down. My switch is somewhat faulty and I have to play with the slider every so often to get the HUD to come on.

I agree. Get that battery charged up to the point that it will at least turn over fine. We can chip away at the other problems once we know there is no voltage issues.
