Default Battery

I took my battery out to have it recharged. This happened becuase I ran it down trying to start the beast. It turned over but didn't start. I put the freshly charged battery back in. Now when I turn the key the starter does not engage. Is there some sort of reset?

No reset. What year is your 928?

How old is the battery, running them flat is not always recoverable.

Three points to be clear on:

1. Fresh and healthy batteries are critical.

2. Clean contacts everywhere are important with a 928.

3. Ground straps can corrode from the inside rendering them incapable of proper grounding.
