I bought the car in it's current state hoping to fix it up. Well, ever since I bought the damn thing, it won't even turn over. Granted, theres no waterpump or alternator on it. But I want to at least turn the damn thing over.

Starter is hooked up. Everything there is good. Clutch in...Nothing. Can't even hear the starter trying to turn. No solenoid click either. I know the car is getting power, because the headlights work. Radio won't turn on. Sunroof used to work, but won't do anything anymore.

So what could be the problem? I don't really care about the sunroof or radio...I just want the car to turn over! All suggestions welcome.

same thing happened to me (check the fuel)

Not the fuel...It's something electrical because the damn solenoid won't even click

i did replace the solenoid too not that expensive like 30 bucks very easy to replace. but make sure you are getting power to the solenoid. if not replace it.

If you decide to give up on the car and want to sell it, PM me... I love the S5's.

Make me an offer

Is the starter wiring hooked up? You could also take the starter off and get it tested. The problem may also lie with the ignition switch, which can also be tested rather easily.

Don't give up on the car so soon.
