I had a dead battery and I took it to my shop and charged it up and put it back in and the car will not start. I got all the lights work, but go to start it and nothing happens. It was running before the battery died. I even put a jump pack on it to give it some help and nothing happens either. What am I missing?

Hello,

Can I ask if the engine is not cranking over (no starter operation) or is the starter working but the engine not running. Also is the security light flashing? If so here is a guide to help you reset the system:

If the light is not flashing follow the guide below because it sounds like the starter motor has gone out.

Please run down these guides and report back.
