This happened to me once. Battery cable not tight. How old is your battery? Maybe try a different battery. Check your grounds....???????

Checked Battery ground (it's very tight), even parking lights don't come on. Battery is one year old and tests at 100% charged on my trickle charger. Anybody else have an idea?

thanx for you question MBurman! I found my charger was not accurately indicating the charge status. It was a discharged battery. The local MB dealer sent a mechanic out to give it a start. all is well now, I have a trickle charger on it. I had checked the fuses. We, in Idaho, lost our Composite Wing B-1s last month. They'd dropped 60% of the total ordance in Afganistan. Keep your head and butt down if you get involved . Roger

I'm glad you got your car fixed and thanks for the good wishes...

As far as getting involved... been there, done that, got the shirt, etc. Just hoping I don't have to go back!!

Thanks again!
