Does anybody know if the E39 has a ignition solenoid that could be bad instead of starter. My engine is not turning over once key is turned. Battery is fully charged and no other indication is given.
is your car a manual?? could be a clutch switch also or a gear selector switch on an automatic. Point is, I would be sure what is wrong so you don't waste money or time. Good Luck !!
I checked the switch and found it almost apart in two pieces. It seems that a small amount of brake fluid leaked from cluth master cyc and managed to get inside switch and ruined the little electronic board inside. This swithc is a non-contact type and has a small IC board that measures weather is open/closed.
You guys saved me $200 + labor on new starter. Thanks alot.
