S type 1999 does not start anymore after flat battery, red light on dashboard flickers. starter motor turns but car does not start.
anyone have an idea?


Have you charged the battery or tried jump starting it? Are the battery terminals tight and in good condition? Have you tested battery voltage, it may need replacing. Or could be an issue with starter motor.

Good luck 😉

Sounds like you’ve tripped the immobiliser. Disconnect the battery again and leave it for about 10 minutes. As it is cranking, check the inertia switch hasn’t tripped.

After 10 minutes, reconnect and try again assuming the battery is good of course.
