Car wont start

[Pink Lady]

Hi Guys n Girls

Its been a while ! I went away for 5 weeks and left my car (Lotus Elise S2) standing battery died so replaced battery and car has worked fine for last 4 weeks.

I drove it briefly this morning everything fine, went to start it just now and put the key in, lights came on pressed alarm fob to start the car and nothing.

When I tried it the second time there was no lights displayed at all. Left it for a few seconds and my immobilizer light started to flash but not as intermittent as it usually is. I could hear like a bleeping noise which seemed to be coming from the left hand side of the dashboard. Then I tried it again and nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated before I get it taken to a garage where they could tell me anything x

Are the battery connections all in order? They may have worked themselves loose since it was changed recently?

Yes everything seems to be connected okay. Nothing is working at all now. No lights on dashboard etc, just the immobilizer light flashing and a clicking noise which sounds to be coming from the dashboard x

Hi Bibs,

Doh ! I just disconnected it all again and screwed it as tight as I could and hey presto it works. Now I feel the fool ! How stupid am I ? not to check the obvious.

I love you guys !

Thank you x

I've learnt from years on here to always look at the last thing changed first. Glad you're sorted
