Thread: Bentley GT starting problems

Hey guys,

I tried to start my 05 Bentley GT today and even though the car has full electrical power, it doesn't crank at all when i turn the key. I don't think it's an electrical issue but i'm not positive. Has anyone experienced anything like this before?

Thanks in advance.

Wow, could be so many things. I would do a battery test first. Make sure the car is in park too. I had a friends gt have a similar issue and it was just the battery though.

Definitely start at the battery as mentioned by Pad. Maybe one of your terminals is disconnected.

If the car sits for too long, the computers in the car will run the battery down. You need to get the battery maintainer from Bentley and keep it on the car when not in use for long periods of time.

Also, the car has an auxilary battery on it, (Right corner of trunk.),put the key in the ignition, turn it to the left, hold for several seconds and turn back to the right and try to start the car. This will activate the auxilary battery to start the car.

Have everything checked, but if it needs a starter its very expensive (the engine/tranny have to be pulled to replace the starter)

Where are you located at?

could be starter, fuse, ignition coils/module.

may want to start with fuse first. check the battery power.
