My e30 was sitting for about 2 weeks during transport. When I went to pick it up I brought a booster pack cause I thought I’d be dead. Sure enough it was and after a boost it stated up well. I drove the car around for 20 min and then turned it off and tried to start it again – no start. Nothing happened when I turned the key at all – no lights came on and there was no clicking.
I boosted it again and it started good. Drove for about 10 min and the car just stopped dead. The hazard lights didn’t even work. I boosted it in the middle of the street and then it made the 20-minute drive home without problems. But it still won’t start on it’s own.
I boosted the car last night and drove it around for half an hour without any problems but it still wouldn’t start on it’s own. I took the battery out last night and it’s been trickle charging since then. In a few hours I will try it again and if that doesn’t work then I’m going to buy a new battery.
Anything else I should be looking at as the cause of these symptoms?
TIA,
Spencer
