Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Folks, My 2001 C2 is having some problems starting. I was away for a while and the car was not run in nearly 2 months. So upon my retrun I used my Mercedes CLK battery to jumpstart. Then went on a drive for 10 miles or so. Upon my return home, when I switched off the car only to restart is did not restart. Using the Merc CLK to jumpstart again does not work. And a clicking sound comes on. Lights starting to flash, windows and clokc start acting up and the hazards come on. I am thinking that since the engine was still hot and the fan was not worknig, this is a fail safe to not start the car till the engine cools down. Worse this could also mean my starter is hosed. Any advice on what has happened will be appreciated.. Regards, JK. Migration info. Legacy thread was 11001

Non starting 996... Most likely your battery simply died...and cany be revived. I expect if you turn on the ignition you wont have enough power for the lights to work too.. Nip off to halfords and buy the correct battery remembering to have your radio code handy before its changed. Yep its the battery almost certain. One shorted cell.
