Car wouldn't start the other morning and figured a dead battery but found it to be charged.Things are going haywire in the car lights blinking,relays clicking etc when i try to start it.Car was acting fine just a day prior and gave no indication that something was wrong.It's a 93 3.0 v6.I'm gonna pull the starter and check the wiring before i write it off.

Please be more specific about what was happening. What do you mean by "Hot Battery Post"? How did you determine that your battery was charged?

Did you make sure all your battery connections were clean and tight? Loose or corroded battery terminals can cause all kinds of problems.
