Dont jumpstart (!!) Posted by JustinHiFi [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: 2006 9-3 Aero Steering wheel lock malfunction, Paul Anthony, Thu, 13 Oct 2011 18:11:27 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Highly recommend not jump starting your vehicle, ever. Your '06 has sensitive electronic modules (stereo system for example) which do not fair well with the surge of power brought on my a jumpstart. The only safe way to get a dead battery going again is to disconnect a battery terminal either + or -. Then hook cables from jump vehicle to battery and let the running vehicle charge the battery for 15min or so. Then disconnect your jump leads and reconnect the vehicle battery terminal and try to start.
Depending on your region, another common failure with the 2.0L 4 cylinder is corrosion buildup on the positive battery lead at the starter terminal. Rarely see this in Florida but have a few times on northern snowbird vehicles that have spent some time playing in the snow. Inspect and either clean or replace the + cable and/or starter.
As John also states, a SCL (steering column lock) or ISM (ignition switch module) can also give these symptoms.
