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?
With a newish battery I would look for a bad contact or a corroded battery cable first. You do not need a lot of power to operate the pump for the locks but the starter motor needs a lot.
