help! 100s won't start

[Lundy, Andrew]

If the car still has the original battery don't rule it out yet (I sure hope
it doesn't)!!!

When "old" enough sometimes the batteries will just quit working.  I lost
one on my '91 overnight, similar to how yours is acting up.  Worked fine one
day nothing the next.

When a battery gets worn down enough, it doesn't matter what you
do....charge it, jump it, take it out to a movie....it's not going to put
out.  :-)

It could be 100 other things too, but just because it didn't work when
jumped, don't rule the battery out!!  Best thing to do with a battery is
check the voltage and the amps (when trying to start)!!

Good Luck!!

Last night I drove my '92 100s from binghamton to albany, without any
trouble. This morning i tried to start it, only to hear a clacking sound
from
the engine, and no start. Tried jumping it with a battery pack, but with no
luck. I've checked the connections at the battery terminal, as well as the
fuses. Nothing was left on overnight, so it couldn't have been a drain, or a
dead battery, since it would have started with the charger.
Has anyone else had this problem before?

TIA,

Sean
