I fixed up and sold a 92 740 Wagon to a friend last summer and I just got a call from her saying that it won't start. When she turned the key there were no dash lights that came on and even the radio wasn't working so I figured that the alternator was probably not charging. She got the car jumped by AAA and now when she turns it over it makes a really bad whine when turned over, which I assume is from the starter and the car doesn't start still. The charging system doesn't go through the starter right? Shes like 2 hours from me so I can't just go look at the car right now but now it seems like the starter is the issue. Seems weird to me that both the alternator and the starter would go bad at once. The battery is pretty new as well so I don't think it is that.
