I have a 240D that I bought off of Cervanz (Gary) because he was moving to California who had only good things to say about this forum.

The car as is won't start, when the key is turned to the position where everything electric will turn on, it squeals very loudly. It is coming from a box above the driver's side wheel well.

When you follow through with the key to start the car, the squealing goes away but nothing turns engine wise. The battery seems fine in that everything electrical turns on that should.

Any ideas?
