turn key nothing

[transitbarrow]

hi hope i not repeating a question already asked did a quick search but couldnt see but im not to clever on computers !
i have a 2007 lwb 350 rear wheel drive with 2 batteries under driver seat. recently had problem with starting van and needed to jump start it, did this no probs. Decided to replace batteries now when turn key to crank it is dead ! got all dash lights etc working but nothing when turn key not even starter motor clicking ..
Anyone any ideas ???? thanks

I think that its the rear battery that does the starter motor and Hazard lights, if I remember correctly and the front one is the Aux bat, check the connections on the battery .......

hi thanks for reply im sure it is rear one that is starter battery as well, all connections have been checked all appear ok. but absolutely nothing happens on enginewhen turn key. but all lights on dash and all headlights and stuff in cab work ???? any fuses or anything im missing checking ?? van started before changed batteries when they were charged and not flat !

Has the rear battery got voltage in it??????

Can you jump the van?????

If you definitely have a good rear battery, then there is obviously a problem with the connecting leads

Have you tried jump starting to the jump start point under the bonnet, and an engine earth

hi yes have good back battery brand new and fully charged have tried jump start as suggested still totally nothing when try to start engine ... all ignitition lights on etc can hear a relay clicking under drivers seat (presume its a split charge relay) . Am i right in thinking if its starter motor thats knackered it could at least click on ignition key in crank position ?

Not necessarily, it could well be the starter, or the wires going to it, if you've definitely checked all the battery connections

Check to see if you have voltage on the starter terminals

+1 if the solenoid is knackered or the trigger wire is broken lose you won't hear a click

It does sound like a loose or corroded connection, able to power low current, but will not pull a high load. Check the connections on the starter, I thought mine was knackered, turning slow for weeks, then died! But after a clean up and replacing the connecting nuts it's like new.
