Wow, sounds like a case of If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck.

That said, I would start with the battery. How old is it?

What year do you have... it could just be a bad connection. Are the battery terminals clean?

It can always be worse, trust me. You are trying to figure out how to fix your German sports car, many others are trying to figure out how to feed their families. Car troubles suck, I am going through some of my own at the moment, but take a breath and realize you are a lot luckier than most of these other poor SOBs out there....

Good luck!

There is no way a four year old battery is "100%". Replace it, then visually inspect the solder on the Relay Control Module.


Sorry about the layoff. This economy is in trouble.

old batteries can be a problem...did you take to auto zone, or someplace like that, and have them put a "load" on it to see if might have a dead cell? There is a lot stuff about the "Crank Sensor"...just use the search feature and read away...install instructions and all are on there....good luck
