Technical New starter, but car will not start.

[NathanEL]

Greetings,
I recently had a fault with my OEM starter, so I went ahead to replace it.
For about the first week, my car would start and drive.

Recently, the car would not start after 2 days of sitting in my parking.

(The car's battery was recently charged, like today morning or so.)

I hope for a response because my other vehicle is in service also.

When you say it won’t start does it still turn over or does the starter motor not operate? Also petrol or diesel and what engine?

Starter motor won't operate, it's a 1.2 Petrol.

Is it now doing the same as before you replaced the starter motor or different? I’d probably start by taking all the leads off again and checking they’re clean and free of corrosion, also try running a temporary earth from the negative side of the battery to a solid metal part of the engine using a jump lead to see if that makes any difference

How old is the battery?

Charging a faulty battery will make it look OK. When in reality its failed.

I bought the battery when I bought the car, so about like 4 months old

Try this.

Hi, so I found out the problem with the car, I replaced all the relays and also saw the bypass switch was loose, (the bypass switch was the problem)
Thanks, now I am left with a clutch to replace

Howdy!
I figured it was a bypass switch back in december/november
