I've been out here for over an hour trying to get the car to start. Jumpers are hooked up to my Tahoe, with Negative on Tahoe run to frame. Interior lights and electrical system working again in Exige. However, even after charging for 45 minutes, when I try to start it, it just makes a sound like "tat tat tat tat tat". I've had my wife try revving the Tahoe while trying to start the car but that didn't help.

Am I doing something wrong? Never had a problem jump starting a car before, but this is the first time with the Lotus.

I tried SEARCH, but didn't find anything. However, it is cold and I need to get back to some work...so maybe I didn't read closely enough.

Thanks,
Will
