Subject: wont start Author: traffik : member since January, 2008 : 14 posts Posted on: 2008-01-13 23:41:55

ok here we go, I have a e32 750il 1988 127000 ML on it,and for some reason the car just started having problems staring. The car will start fine all but sometimes i can turn it off and come back to start it and nothing. It will not turn over, no activity from the starter at all. So what I have to do to start it is leave the negative battery post off for 24hrs and then when I hook it back up it will start with no problem. I personally think it has something to do with the factory alarm. Please if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. All suggestions are welcome.

On roadfly I was told that it is the fusable links but today I checked the both of them and they are in great shape. I also took all the relays out and cleaned the lead but still not starting. funny thing is two days ago the car started with no problem. then the day after it did not start. To be clear the car has the factory alarm no after market and it does not crank at all. Starter was replaced two years ago.
