[s-cars] No Start 92 S-4 after dead battery was charged

Hi Listers,

Yesterday I tried starting my 1992 S-4 and looks like I let the battery go down a bit too much and after a few turns of the key - I just didn't have enough juice to turn it over.  I got that slow churning sound of a low charge battery (starter just not quite making it to turn over).  

So I put my trusty battery charger on overnight and the next day after the green light was blinking on the charger indicating a full charge, I tried again, this time when I got into the car the light came on right away as per normal and I was expecting a clean turn over - but this time all I got was well...nothing, nothing at all.  I turn the key and the dash lights go out briefly but no start, no sounds of the starter trying at all.  The radio, lights and air blower all run strong, but just no turn over at all.

I checked the fuse for the fuel pump (fuse 17 I think) and it seemed fine - not blown.

Any ideas would be much welcome.

Thanks,

Andrew
