Hello all .. please help ..I have a 2003 330 XI with the exact same issue as Lamar Johnsons post : 8 months ago I I drove car home parked in garage then next morning went out put key in all lit up as normal turn key and nothing .. tried changing all sensors, battery , oil , still nothing ..I even tried the valet key .. I have been busy so i let it set for 4 months in my garage collecting dust . its our second car so we didnt need it ..Yesterday I decided to tackle it again jumped in and it cranked slow .. well i charged battery and it started after some cranking .. I had the clutch fan off it so I shut it off and put the fan back on it . went to start it and same thing no crank.. so frustrated .. has any one seen this and what am i missing ???????
There is a resistance or cut oout problem in the cluch fan circuit.
SOURCE: Car will not crank. Lights & radio all work.
First thing I would do is get under the car and hit the starter with a hammer, not with everything you have, but not too gently either. The brushes in the starter are usually the culprit. So tap it two or three times medium hits, then try to start it. If it starts, you need a new starter. Keep the hammer handy, so you dont get stuck.
Make sure when you do hit the starter, you hit the body of it and not the wiring/electrical connections, this would break them beyond repair and possibly beyond rebuild condition too. Good luck!
