Opened car today on key and popped bonnet, connected battery and the alarm sounded. I cancelled it by pressing fob. Turned on ignition and everything lit up but not a sausage from the starter, not even a click.

Have I immobilised the starter by doing something stupid, wrong or out of sequence? This has never happened to me before on any of my ZTs when connecting a battery.

With grateful thanks,

I would suggest that you clean the starter motor contact terminal
