[s-cars] 1995.5 S6 Avant No Crank-No Start

[Wylie Bean]

Sounds like the ignition switch to me... especially if it's the original,  
but I would get some healthy people to push it and see if you can bump start  
it.  With a finicky starter (when hot) myself I know how easy these cars are  
to start in 2nd.... or 1st.

Subject: [s-cars] 1995.5 S6 Avant No Crank-No Start



1995.5 S6 Avant has 178,000 miles. Was driving the car all day yesterday and  
car performed flawlessly. Took the car out this morning to go to an  
appointment and car started right up and was fine. After the appointment  
(about an hour later) went out to the car and it did not crank and obviously  
did not start. Turn the ignition to start car and nothing, silence...no  
crank, no clicking noise, nothing. Battery is fine at 12.5V and normal dash  
lights come on and all accessories work when I choose to turn them on with  
ignition switch in the ON position. Just trying to get a few ideas from the  
list on where to start to diagnose. I am thinking it is a faulty ignition  
switch or starter or perhaps even something associated (fuse/relay located  
somewhere) with the factory alarm/immobilizer system. The door locks work  
both with the key manually in lock and also work with the remote key fob.  
Unfortunately, the car start is situated right now parked in a position  
where it will be extremely difficult to get underneath the car to  
troubleshoot but I would like suggestions from anybody who is experienced  
with no crank-no start troubleshooting for these UrS6 cars. Thanks.

Jay
