Hi all

Hope someone can help the car has new starter motor and battery but the issue seemed to have got worse not even when disconnecting battery and leaving a bit and putting back still won't turn over I am wondering if a relay could be the issue not sure what could cause this problem the car when running runs fine don't cut out at all please could someone help me before I loose all my hair lol
 
So tried the 2 relays still nothing will check fuses in glove box on weekends really weird though don't get it u can here relays clicking on can you think of any fuses that could cause it not to start any help be appreciated
 
Does the engine turn over when you try to start it, or does it not even do that?
 
Yes. There are such things as defective batteries.

These cars are not too happy with jump starts. Sometimes you need to switch in a known good battery from another car to test.
 
Hi

Just a update I have got battery swapped and seems to start OK now will try for few days and hope does not re occur thanks for all your help

If the dash gauges will got o the max and back then it's the battery.
If they don't do that and it still doesn't turn over then usually it's the ground wire from the starter. You need to clean it up. This problem occurs mainly at the 3BKs manufactured prior to 2006, but sometimes you may see this with newer BKs and even MPSes.
