SL320 R129 Non Starter

[AGOG]

Hi, My '96 SL320 has been standing sometime and had a flat battery but after recharging she still refuses to start, all ignition lights come on but I can hear relays clicking away somewhere in the dash and the array of instrument lights go dim and then bright, on turning the key further to crank the starter, all goes dead, turn the key back one stop and the relays start their clicking again??? Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions as to what the problem could be.

Sounds like your battery is cream crackered and not providing enough cranking amperage. I would suggest having it tested or replaced.
