Bmw 116i f20 n13 no crank, just clicks
hi everyone, hope you can help;
I recently bought a 2011 Bmw 116i f20 n13 as a non runner, I have a donor car of exactly the same model so all parts are interchangeable. I have now spent days trying to diagnose what is wrong and cannot work it out. When I try to start the car it just clicks, I then gave 12v to the supply wire and that turned the engine over so I know the starter is working. (I currently have it hooked up on jump leads, not that should make a difference?). I have tried replacing almost everything (cas, Ecu, fem, fuse box and a few other bits) with no luck. I have scanned the car to find no significant error codes so im stuck. I have heard issues with the neutral switch/ brake switch/ P/N switch and maybe a voltage drain can cause issues like this. is there any way of testing this? or any other ideas on what it could be? cheers |

Turns out this was caused by a battery so dead that even jumping didn't help, replaced battery and it turned over. Please see my other thread to see what has happened since. cheers.
