Energize the starter with a remote switch and see if the starter is bad. Could it be the alarm?

Hey Dave Thanks for the info. After the new Battery was installed and I cleaned the terminals, it initially would not start and the hazards kept flashing. We left it connected eventually the flashers went out after

15 min., still would not start. much later we tried again and it started. It has worked fine since then. Got to love those German cars... Thanks for the info. Mark
