'99 will not start

[devboy]

Well,

Since I started this thread, I may as well keep updating it in case it helps someone else one day. After the dealership charged the battery. I started the car today (it just makes me happy to hear it roarrr) took it out to the office, about 10 min drive. Left it there, pulled the parking break, used the remote to lock it. Came back 10 minutes later ... and guess what? It would not start again!

Same symptoms as before. All the lights fire up except the enginge doesn't make a sound. Can't hear it click or anything. So after trying it a few times, I just left it there. Came back an hour and a half later. Stuck the key in and vroom vroom ... we had action.

Drove it home so that I don't have to call the truck again. So it makes me wander, is it me? Could the battery have drained ... but what is it about a drained battery that would loose its charge in such a weird way?

Anyway, I have an appointment tomorrow with Dr. Porsche and we will see what they say again.

I will keep adding notes until we figure out what the problem is. It is a tiptronic so there is no clutch to push in or anything like that.

Weird!
