Please help...
I am stuck. Lately my 98 SLS has been slow to start (turns over slowly before starting). Another thing I have noticed around the same time frame is that there has been a loud popping noise occasionally right after the car starts. My radio has no volume for about 2 minutes, then I hear a noise (relay?) and the volume will work again.
As of last night, the car will not start at all. It may turn about 1/2 crank before it does nothing. My lights still work and my voltage (on dash) shows between 11.5 - 12.0 volts. I put in a new battery (old one was original) but it didn't solve the problem. I am also noticing the loud pop again occasionally after trying the ignition.
I changed the starter in January this year. I hope the new one hasn't gone bad already.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I am wondering if I am having another component causing a voltage draw. I tried jump starting it with no success - not even cranking over easier...
Please, Please, Please Help me...
Thanks,
Bonz
