I knoowwww this is a Mercedes forum but i have a problem which may sound relatively simple to car mechs, and i feel a bit stranded on the bmw forum so i'll give it a go here. If i'm breaking any rules just delete the thread.
The car hasn't given me a single issue to date, but it has now broken that record. Yesterday I tried to start the car it just went 'CLICK' and all power is now cut from the car, its like it has no battery! When i try to give it power from a charger, its like the car is forcefully trying to resist the charger while lights flicker, the power in the battery is fine aswell.
I've been told this could be a bad earth on the engine, because all power is cut as soon as i try to start the engine, if i do anything else the power will stay on.
Where do i start?
