Does it crank over?

Glyn M Ruck Sep 14, 2012 03:28 AM

If it does not crank over then see the start enable process in the Wiki.

You need to check if auto.

Interlock switch on the gearshift - will only start in P & N with foot on brake
Crank position sensor
Temperature sensor
Starter relay in front SAM
Starter motor solenoid & motor.
Earth & power straps.

Good luck!

By crank do u mean the start sound?? I can turn key ol the way bt car will not start instead fan starts spinning....

Iso I tried push to start lol not the button push to start but the old way PUSH to start but just when it sounded like it was starting I noticed engine light come on then off

Thanks for the help guys will get a mechanic n hav him help me look @ those things and let you knw after

Glyn M Ruck Sep 14, 2012 06:43 AM

By crank I mean does the starter motor turn the engine over but the engine does not run or does it not turn the engine over?

shox. Sep 14, 2012 08:38 AM

The key turns to start position but will not start and wyl on start position the fan starts spining

Glyn M Ruck Sep 14, 2012 03:06 PM

I think you mean that the starter motor is inoperative. Check the list above.
