Won't start

Postby Regisgrate » Tue Jan 15, 2019 10:14 pm

I recently changed the battery on my megane ll and now it won't start. Does changing the battery affect the immobiliser in any way

It shouldn't do.
I've removed and refitted my battery several times and the only additional thing I've had to do is re-input the security code on the stereo.

If its a new battery it should start, a second hand one might not have enough power to crank it , and remember you need to put your foot on the brake or clutch and hold start button. LOL

Foot on brake, push button.... Nothing happens and it's a brand new battery. There's a woman posted with same problem

Give this a try...

Put card in slot (DO NOT press the brake or clutch) >>

Press and hold the start button until the ignition comes on, wait 30 seconds >>

Turn ignition off by pressing start button twice >>

Lock and unlock the car >>

Card in slot try to start car normally.



Cheers.

Still won't start. Could it be a faulty button or starter motor

Check that you are getting 12volts on the trigger wire at the starter motor solenoid when the start button is pressed.
