maybe air bags?, theres so many things that could be a problem its hard to know where to start the diagnosis. :(

i guess u have to plug things back in till it starts, trial and error?

Do you have spark?
Is fuel being delivered into the cylinders?

If you can answer a reliable yes to those questions then check for compression.

Mine did the exact same thing it is only a year old though. Problem was that the piston rings were stuck leading to no compression.
I took the road less travelled, and that made all the difference.

Yeah all of that is still in the car, tried with a brand new battery also, no luck, there is a continuous beep coming from the engine though...

Starter motor doesnt usally click unless the battery is dead and you hear the solenoid clicking ?

Can you do a video ?

What have you done before it ?

yeah the solenoid is clicking.

The whole car is dismantled but i haven't changed anything since the last time i started it up.

have no way of doing a video atm.


basically when i turn on the ignition i can hear the solenoid go off than the fuel pump starts and then nothing at all.

hmm, what exactly are you dismantling ?

Any change you got a OBD2 reader ?

When you turn the key, is it cranking and just not turning over ?

Id check for spark.

But definitely a video to help us see your exact issue and then we can help you

Fixed her now, was something really simple... the immobilizer, used the emergency key in the fob backwards and it turned on

cheers for your help everyone!
