Why might a car with a new battery and starter not start?



sounds like the starter solenoid


Answer
Did you check the selenoid? Another possibility is that it could be a faulty brand of starters. Try a different manufacturer if there is a compatible. I replaced 4 in 2 months...then tried a different brand. No more problems. Meanwhile, to get it started(a little trick someone taught me that worked), have someone tap the starter repeatedly(not bang -but a healthy tap)while simultaneously trying to start the car.


Answer
Many newer vehicles also have a main fuse for the ignition system which will prevent anything from happening if it is blown. It may have blown when installing the new components.




















Answer
To answer this, one forst needs to know if it is not cranking (doning nothing when the key is turned) or it is cranking but not starting.


Answer
doing nothing when key is turned on

1 of 4 things.

1) if have a security chip key.....chip has gone bad, or need to enter a security code after battery was replaced (newer high end car's have this thieft protection)

2) ignition switch faulty

3)starter wiring circuit, poor connection

4) selenode / starter faulty
