[s-cars] no start

[thomas.pollock at amd.com]

Hi guys,

gotta make this quick, kind of busy, but I had promised others I'd respond
when I got it running...

Had the same issue with the 94 S4 not starting as a couple others. Was
running fine one day, the next morning, turn the key and nothing. Battery is
(was) fine.  Since I didn't have time to look at it, the car sat for almost
four weeks without being started. Course this past weekend when I finally
got around to trying it the battery was dead as a doornail. I wanted to try
resequencing the alarm as a potential fix for the no start but since the
battery was dead, opted for the "disconnect battery for 5 minutes" fix...
8-)

Threw the instant start on the car, turned the key and voila !   Guess I DID
activate the security no start feature after all....  wished I had tried it
weeks ago.  Just figured I'd pass it on...

tom.
