This morning when I went to check the car, the discharge message was gone.

Tried tapping the starter and nothing.
I can hear something click but I'm not for certain it's the starter or solenoid because I'm inside the car.

I'll be towing it in Wednesday. Should I disconnected the battery ?

You are welcome, sorry I couldn't help more. You did everything right, but I guess the starter is fried and does not engage anymore.

Of course it could be a number of other things, but this was and is the first guess with this symptoms.

When you get a diagnosis, please share, I would really like to know the outcome. No need to disconnect the battery for the tow.

Good luck!

So my appointment got pushed back until Saturday
​​because my mechanic has caught the flu.

It's alive !!!! It was the starter.

pole

ha, great news! how much did they charge you for the repair?

Valhalla519

It was 768$ Canadian / 568$ usd. Got a brand new Bosch starter and it was 3.5 hours of labour.

pole

fair enough. Well, may the malfunctions avoid your car this year
