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.

 

damn flu, we also have some sort of flu epidemic around here that I am getting paranoid about.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

And same to you sir!
