SEC won't start!! Baffled. Help??
Coming home last night, noticed the electric windows went up much more slowly than usual. ABS light winked on for a second. (Years ago it went on continually, turned out to be a dirty sensor.) Is this one of those things where car is trying to "warn" me the electric delivery system is failing Like when I was helping a Chicago ebayer get a W116 300SD, and on the way home the turn signals slowed down etc ?)
Next morning it WOULD NOT turn over at all. What happened? Lights still come on, clock still works. Any ideas before I put on the trickle charger? Could it be the alternator isn't recharging the battery as I was driving? New battery 11/03, at about 9000 miles ago. Time for another? Note, my mileage has been really low (about 3000 miles in the last year) and sometimes I only use the car once a week. And I know the car needs more highway time. Once it is running I will drive it to a shop, and get caught up, have the brrake fluid flushed, AT fluid flushed, sunroof greased, maybe. Seems right now the service is going to have to be TIME related, not mileage related, because of the low miles the car is getting. Sub. Outback seems OK for just going to the market etc This is my first request ever for help. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks!! I will attend to it on Tuesday
