After replacing battery, car won't start
Hi,
Hadn't started 1998 e38 740series for several months. Battery was dead. Replaced the battery. Turn the key in ignition, panel comes on, lights work, but the engine won't turn over. I don't even hear a clicking noise, nothing. Does anyone have any ideas. Car was working fine until battery went dead. Thanks, Pat |

Check your fuses. German cars don't like to sit
