Storting problem/clicking sound

Postby Empire Green » Sat 12.03.2022, 11:02

Hi all,

Need some help here…
My battery was empty so i charges it over night.
I tried to start and as usual it fired up immediately.
But, the engine schut-down just as fast, while a clicking sound (clearly something electrical) appeared.
The cliking goes on and off (something like 20sec).
If i try to start the startmotor works, but the car don’t start again.
Can it be the old alarm system ?
My local Lotus garage disasarmed it, so i guess not…

Thank you !

Ok Guys,
Sorted it out, seemed that the alarm system was activated because the ecu needed a restart.
All fine now.
