HELP.. Z4M R won't start
Any tips for trouble shooting would be greatly appreciated.
Last night I plugged in a brand new FM/Bluetooth adapter to the lighter socket. Then I went to start the car. The car wouldnt start, cabin lights flickered. I unplugged the FM/Bluetooth thing and still nothing. I checked the lighter fuse, the ignition fuse, the immobilizer fuse and several others - all were OK. The car won't start and I can't think of what to do next. The lights, door locks and radio work. The top does not - however I was able to put it down immediately before trying to start the car originally. Could this be a battery issue? Or? Any ideas or past experience is welcome. |

Can you test the battery voltage? Does it click or do anything when you try to crank it? I had an issue with the BST on my car (https://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1390948).
Internal electrics worked (including softtop motor), but car wouldn't crank or start. |

Hi, no... the car doesn't crank at all. It doesn't click either.
The windows will work but the roof doesn't. Once I turn past accessory though it all seems to die. The radio does however work. I have a trickle charger that I'll use on the battery when I get home tonight. Do I need to disconnect the battery first??? |

Quite sure your battery is dead.
The lighter socket is not a key-on or off, it simply stays on all the time having other accessories plugged in would have likely drained the battery out. |
