Poor baby won't start

06-11-2013, 10:12 PM

Got a 91 318i vert. Went to go grab some food and once I got back in my car it wouldn't turn on. Wouldn't even try to crank or turnover. All I hear now is two little clicks. Already tried to jump start but it still wouldn't try to start up..

smack the starter with something hard and see if that helps...if it does, change it asap

Make sure the hot lead connection on the starter is tight.
