Title: She wont turn over
Post by: shagmeister on January 31, 2022, 09:47:01 AM

Morning all
New Nikki on the drive, 96 polish.

She was running before i bought her.  But now will not even turn over.  "Key code" is showing on the dash, but it was when it was running when i bought her.

Any advice on where to start? 

Engine turns over by hand.

How many keys do you have?
If 2, have you tried them both?

Is the battery fully charged - have you tried jump leads from another car?
When you turn the key to start, do the oil/ign warning lights go out or go dim?

I'd try a lead from the battery positive direct onto the starter solenoid (to the small terminal) - that bypasses the key switch and the wiring between the battery and the starter. The engine should now turn over.
