97 355 Starting issue

Hello Gentleman, my name is Mark and I am brand new to Ferrari Chat. I just made the big jump and purchased my first Ferrari. It is a 1997 355 Berlinetta Red/Tan. I have been an avid Ferrari fan since I was a chid and my father was a FCA member. I was on the hunt for one of these cars for over a year and finally found a beauty. I did my homework on this car and had a PPI done by an authorized Ferrari dealer. Everything was flawless, except that it needed a 15,000 mile belt service. The dealer shared the cost with me and I am having it done at Algar in Pa this week. Anyway, I received the car on Friday and took it out for a 2 hour drive. Durning the drive I turned the radio on and when I got home I never turned it off. I went inside my house and came out a half hour later to find the radio still on. When I went to start the car all of the accessories worked, but nothing happened when I turned the key all of the way. I have spent the entire weekend trying everything from trickle charing the battery for 12-16 hours to numerous ways of using the fob to turn the alarm off and on.
Any ideas???

 

I took the car to algar to have them check it out. (it started after a jump) They though at first it was a bad radio so they changed it. They were just about to put it on the truck to send it back to me when it wouldnt start and started doing the same thing. After another day of investigation they found the main ground cable going from the battery disconnect switch to the frame was loose at the frame and had been arcing. Once tightened all was resolved. I cant wait to get it back and go for a nice long drive!!

 

Tell me about it....... In their defense everything seemed fine after they charged the battery and replaced the radio. I did pay for the radio. It is an alpine with bluetooth. The worst part of all of this is I AM AN ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR!! Oh well. Haha
