Hey guys,

Signed up here as I'm in need of a bit of help for a friends car I am repairing. I'm a BMW guy myself so need a bit of guidance!

It's a 2001 Fiesta 1.25. My friend managed to crash it but the car started up fine after the crash. Since then I repaired the damage to the A-arm etc. Took a couple weeks to get the bits and during that time the battery died so replaced it with a brand new one as it was on it's way out.

Now the car won't start at all. Won't even crank over. There are no clicking sounds at all when the key is turned fully. All the dash lights up just as it should. Checked all the fuses, swapped the starter relay out and checked the cut off switch in the passenger foot well; all good.

I'll be going round tomorrow with a multimeter to check the starter is getting a 12v feed and the solenoid is getting one as well.

Is there anything else I should be checking or is a common problem?

The airbag went off and hasn't been replaced yet, but since it was running fine after the crash I doubt that's the problem. Also there is so flashing light coming from the immobilizer.

Many thanks in advance,

Ross
