Non starter

[Dan1971]

Haynes manual says -

• battery terminal connections loose or corroded
• battery discharged or faulty
• broken loose or disconnected wiring in the starting circuit
• defective starter solenoid or switch
• defective starter motor
• starter pinion or flywheel ring gear teeth loose or broken
• engine earth strap broken or disconnected

Checked them, all ok

[*]battery terminal connections loose or corroded

Cleaned and reconnected
[*]battery discharged or faulty

Tried jumping it from another car with no luck.
[*]broken loose or disconnected wiring in the starting circuit

This is my thought but where I have no idea
[*]defective starter solenoid or switch

Works when connected direct to battery
[*]defective starter motor

Works when connected direct to battery
[*]starter pinion or flywheel ring gear teeth loose or broken

Could be but how do I check?
[*]engine earth strap broken or disconnected

Checked and cleaned and used jump lead as suggested.


Now it's raining again and back to the drawing board me thinks lol

I think the solenoid on the starter motor may be goosed.

Solenoid works straight from battery.

You put a new battery in the key fob. (bit of grasping at straws).

Tried my both fobs both unlock and lock car but nothing at position 3 on ignition

For a couple of quid, I'd try a new battery!!

As everything else seems to have been exhausted, the ignition switch would be another possibility.
