Hello all, would appreciate your help with my mini's issue. I got a new alternator, new belt, new battery and a new starter. It will not start, luckely it happened in my driveway. I was able to hit the old starter with a hammer and got it started long enough to get it into my garage on ramps. Replaced the starter on Saturday thinking that was the issue and it still will not start. I turn the key everything lights up like normal and turn the key all the way thru and nothing no clicking. I have checked all the fuses and they are all good from what I can see, I am not a mechanic, but I was able to replace the alternator and starter myself with help from YouTube. I would appreciate any input you have to sove this issue.



Thank you.

 

You posted this in the wrong forum. This is for the 3rd generation, 2014 and newer Minis. Post it in the 2nd generation hatchback forum.

 

Yep,


Post in here and I will help. But i bet you have a cable not attached correctly or the ground cable was not attached back at the motor mount.

Ground cable

Make sure that you have connected everything back the way it was. Check the grounds, the battery connections. If they're loose your MINI wont start. Otherwise, here is also another idea but less likely.
