Crank no start

I had all the glow plugs replaced and the garage said that the car works when jump started and that replacing wit a heavy duty battery would help.

However, I noticed that the when I got home and tried to restart, the pre-heating sign which normally appears and goes out after a couple of seconds, was not appearing at all.

Any ideas? Seems to me that this could be the problem, not the battery. It's just takes a couple of times to start maybe because the plugs aren't warming.

Check the wiring for the parking brake switch ! You may have a faulty dash display unit. Renault dealer should be able to check using their diagnostic scanner !

You would have to check the brake lights to see if they are working. Next is the gear shift. Try shifting it to "N" and check if you could crank.

Another thing to check would be the starter.

The brake lights are working. Tried the gear shift but would not crank.
Do you mean the starter button or starter motor?
