Hello,

When the starter does not engage what exactly does your do? Is there a click" Is the nothing at all? Or, is the a whining spinning sound?

Thanks,
Alex

When key is turned there is nothing. Just like when you try to start the car when it is in gear. Everything thing lights up but nothing else. Thanks

I am thinking there may be an issue with the brake booster. If these bleed down the pedal gets very hard to press. Glad it it working correctly at the moment. If you have further issues. Please come back to 2CarPros. Thanks
