starting after being stood
Hi all its a 95 wrx the problem is when the car has been stood for about 5 days i get in turn the key and nothing happens all the dash lights come on but that's it no trying to start or anything its like the battery is completely flat (but its not). It does this about 3-4 times before it will start then runs fine like there was nothing wrong just wondering if it could be dampness or has anyone had the same happen to them.
i know the obvious would be not to leave so long but being a class 1 driver i am away all week
thanks guys merry christmas

i had a similar problem to this on a vauxhall astra a few years ago it turned out to be damp in the ignition switch might not be same on yours but worth checking out

hi i doubt it will be the bat terminal, if the lights come on,
the is a single black wire that pushes on to the starter motor it can rust very easily, scrape it with a screw driver should get the contacts clean again.
but dont just wd40 it you may just mask over the problem for a bit, then a month later you could be a bit stranded
good luck
