Question
i have a 97 528i.when i try to start it i get no response from the starter, also the tilt teloscophic doesent function. all other functions seem to be ok. what could the problem be?
Check the connections at the starter and the battery.The block grounds and the body grounds should be examined.The battery connections should be clean and tight,make sure the battery is fully charged.Checking the grounds under the dash will help with the electrical functions.
