Remove the starter and bench test it with your battery charger. Apply the red connector from the charger to the large battery lug on the starter solenoid. Attach the black connector from the charger to the vise. have a 6 inch wire to use now to do the test. The 6 inch wire you will apply it the red positive connector and the touch the other end of the 6 inch wire to the solenoids small threaded lug. It will click if the solenoid is good and the drive should protrude out as if it meshing with the flywheel. It should be running quite fast as well. If one or more of these explainations are now working, replace this starter. If working you have a shorted wire or a faulty electrical ignition switch

My 1995 325i BMW has been parked for about 5 months. It was running fine before that time. I was driving it on short routes to keep things operating. About 3 months ago I tried to drive it and it had to...

have a load test done on the battery as it may have sulphated up the plates and now will not hold a charge.. A long time stationary and short runs do help the situation.

2004 new beetle won't start in the am without a jump; once battery is jumped will stop and start all day till it sits overnight...next morning needs to be jumped again.

Hi, seems to me it's time for a new battery, probably the original battery in the car and 72 -78 months is a good useful life, however you can pull in to a place like auto zone ( I suggest at a time when they are not that busy, early a.m. ) and they will do a diagnostic check for free and check out the charging system , battery , and any drainage of current when everything is off for you but I'm sure it will be ok or it would not crank all day but the long over nite hours drains what little voltage that is in the battery. A battery that is bad will not fully charge because of a bad cell inside of it. Good luck, hope a battery fixes you up!!

My 2004 530i won't start.

If you hear a mechanical hum then its either something with the starter or the battery. Charge your battery and see if its just a little too weak to turn the engine over. If that doesnt fix it, then you might have to replace the starter. Unless there is a serious mechanical issue, your engine shouldnt be the reason the starter can't get it to turn over.
