I had to use the switch to lower the wing. Now at lunch the starter only grunted but would not turn over enough to start. Dash board was all lit up as normal (odometer, clock and idiot lights) and door locks worked fine to relock the car. The battery is only about 14 months old. Is it my RCM or has the battery already given up? Alternator? What do you guys think?
If you haven't done the RCM fix yet, do it. But also check for corroding battery post. They may look fine, but when I took mine off, the insides of the connectors were caked with white dust, but looked normal on the battery. The cars are very quarky as far as battery power goes and a clean contact is essential.
