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

[Pasqualoni, James E]

There was a recall on the frontal airbag sensor control module (NHTSA
Campaign ID 97V172000) for this my.  If this recall has not been remedied,
it may be your issue.

HTH,
Jim

Thanks to all who responded about the trouble starting my '92 S4.  With end
of the year stuff at work plus the holiday, I didn't get a chance to check
the car until this past weekend.  After reading through the various
messages, I decided to check the battery again.  The water levels were fine
and the battery charger would read a successful charging, but I got a car
battery tester from a relative and checked out the Audi brand battery.  The
rating was 650 CCA, but the tester showed 154 CCA.  I installed a new Audi
battery last night and the car started right up.  

As a side note, the warranty on the old battery had just expired a couple of
days before the car wouldn't start.  Talk about planned obsolescence!

Now the only issue is that when I start the car, the air bag light comes on.
The first couple of times last night, it stayed on for about 10 minutes.
This morning, it stayed on for about 5 minutes, until the car had warmed up.
Anything to be very concerned about?  

TIA for any help.

Andy
