Why won't 03 plate renault scenic start?

Question

1.6 petrol, new battery but when you turn the key starter motor does not work. Recently had 2 new ignition coils fitted. Lights etc work but won't turn over on the key.

Answer 1

is this just happened after changing the battery?? have you put ALL the wires on? (2 red ones) & there tight connections...
Does it make a clicking sound when you turn the key? then the battery isn't charging(it's lost its charge) so it would be the altenator.
if it's the starter motor, you can give the starter motor a few little bangs, or if it's manual put the car in first or second gear & rock the car forwards & backwards to unjam the starter. if it starts then you know you need to replace the stater.
Good Luck!

Answer 2

Presume that this car has a computer to run the engine, so the problem could be computer related especially if the battery change requires the system to be reset. The only other could be the starter and solenoid, however this can be tested by merely putting power to the live side of the motor and seeing if it turns. If however you know nothing about cars see an expert.

Answer 3
