engine wont turn over when turning key.

Post by jlabon »

Hi can anyone help please, I removed the fuse box after disconnecting the battery on my Peugeot 206 cc to check behind for a loose or disconnected plug as roof and windows stopped working after checking for blown fuse, so now iv refitted the fuse box but now when you turn the key to start the car nothing happens apart from a clicking sound from the fuse box ( windows and roof still don't work either ) any ideas please. :?

It could be the battery is nearly flat. What voltage across the terminals? Give it a charge and try again.

There is an outside chance that the way you disconnected the battery is to blame.

The correct way is here. Try it - it may help.

I forgot to say that it is a 2004 1.6 16v convertible if that helps in any way.

It means to check all the services, e.g. lights, radio, horn, wipers .... which work when the ignition is on.

ok i have tried the reboot several times with no luck when I get to the step were you turn side lights on and there is supposed to be a noise (bong) nothing but carried on with all the steps regardless still nothing happens apart from a clicking noise from the fuse box when I try to start the car I have also noticed like a high pitch noise which sounds like it is coming from the throttle body HELPPPPPPPP

Do you have a voltmeter/multimeter? If so, measure the volts across the battery terminals.
