Battery/starter motor issue?
Discussion
Mondeo estate 2016 2.0 diesel....
The other day when I pulled up and turned the engine off when I tried starting it back up, the car acted as if the battery was dead. After a while of ringing around various people to get some jump leads it randomly started again without me doing anything to it when I tried again after it sounded dead.
Fast forward to today and it did the same, my mate went into a shop. I sat with the engine off and the radio on and when I went to start back up the engine tried to turn over initially but was weak and then I got nothing at all. I had zero power to the windows which were down to put them back up. When I pressed the ignition the dash lit up as normal but the radio screen didn't. When I tried to turn it over the dash went blank and I got nothing.
Jump leads did nothing at all and the issue was the same but I managed to bump start it after trying the jump. Got home and turned everything off and it started first time five or so minutes later.
Any ideas on what could be the issue? Start/stop button faulty? Starter motor issue? Wiring? Battery?
