I turn the key and hear nothing but a very quiet click. Nothing else. All lights come on but that''s it.
On a number of ocassions I have let it sit in the driveway and it will fire up just like there''s nothing wrong four or even five days later. If it does not start the first time the normal scenario is that it won''t start even if I try up to six or seven times. On a couple of ocassions however it has started on the second attempt after failing the first time, but that''s definately not the norm.
Luckily so far I have never been left stranded and it always happens either at home or at a friends.
I did replace the battery, even though it didn''t really appear to be the culprit. It''s been happenning for about six weeks.
Before I replaced the battery it did start up after a charger had been connected over night.........and with the charger still connected......this may have been a coincidence though.
Any ideas?
