[fi3nd]

guys got vr v6 that wont start or even turn over like it has a flat battery but tried new battery and no deal tried new earth tested starter moter all good but still nothing and the negative wire to the battery gets really hot any ideas??
any ideas would be great

The negative cable will get hot due to a loose/bad/corroded connection.....it must be clean and tight otherwise it will create resistance and heat up. Also check where it meets the body/engine.
