Changed battery, will not start?

Hi,

First, make sure the battery terminals are both clean and tight, free of corrosion. I realize the battery is new, but the cables may have corrosion.

Next, I need you to check for power at the starter. The idea that you hear the relay click tells me the starter (trigger wire) should be supplying power.

At the starter, there will be two black wires. One will be a heavier gauge than the other. The heavier gauge wire should have 12v at all times. There is a smaller gauge black wire that should not have power until the key is in the start position, or the push start button and brake pedal are pushed. Have a helper turn the key to the start position while you check for power at the smaller gauge wire.

Let me know the results.

Take care,

Joe

See pic below. Note: The schematic is for a vehicle with a smart key but without ISG (idle stop and go). If that isn't what you have, let me know.

Hi,

Thanks for the update. I had a feeling that was going to be the issue when you said you could hear the relay engage. Regardless, I'm glad to know it's repaired and running again.

Take care and feel free to come back anytime in the future.
