No start on 97 A4 2.8

[Lundy, Andrew]

Just sounds like a weak battery to me!!  Did the car sit for a few days
after the accident by chance??  If it has the original battery you might
want to replace it anyway.  The battery sounds like your problem to me!!

I hope someone can give me some advice regarding my son's A4.  His car was 
involved in a left front collision and now when the key is turned to the 
"start" position, there is nothing.  A faint click but the starter doesn't 
turn.  In addition, when the key is turned only to the run position the fuel

pump relay buzzes like it is rapidly being energized and de-energized.  The 
fuel pump also rapidly switches off and on in unison with the relay (makes 
sense}.   I pulled the relay and it tested good.  I then jumped the socket 
terminals and the fuel pump ran steadily as it should.  The collision did no

damage to the wiring harness in the engine compartment.  Any ideas?
