Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / January 2006306 D won't start
Hi Just gone out to my car, put keys in turned and NOTHING, lights on dash stay on, a click from under the bonnet, but nothing else, checked starter all wires still connected, checked fuses all seem ok, even when I turn key to start position the dash lights don't dim at all, infact a little click from the fuse box under bonnet is all I can here. Any help would be great I need to get to work tomorrow.... I hate this car.......44k miles, new second engine (due to snapped timing belt, which killed two pistons and the head was cracked) 22k, clutch is stiff, accelerator pedal needs more oil than engine, lights bring aircraft in even after they have been set up by garage, new door hinges, air bag light sometimes on sometimes not (I know about the seat wiring thing, don't it countless times), front knocking from divers side, had everything changed and its still there, WHY do I keep it? 1. its cost me a small fortune. 2 when its running right I love it..... Anyway, I hope someone can help and let it be cheap....oh and if this helps, it's been fine until today, no slow starting etc, battery ok (new) everything else works, I jumped the fuel pump and it even started with a push.

Here is my two pennyworth. It sounds like a problem I have encountered on several cars in the past. In each case the battery terminals were loose, corroded or both. I used to clean the muck off with a bit of emery paper or similar, then coat the terminals in petroleum jelly (Vaseline, don't use ordinary grease, it must be petroleum jelly) and re-connect. My wife's 306 has a sort of top hat that presses down over one terminal and I should imagine that is the problem one, but do both while you are at it.  SignatureKeith Willcocks (If you can't laugh at life, it ain't worth living!) Yeah - I had similar problems that would occur after stalling. Unfortunately, this was usually on a roundabout and the sort of place you dont want to stop and admire the view. There'd be no response from the igniton for 5 whole minutes while you waited for something to reset. It was cured slightly by getting a new calcium battory (halfords own in this case) - but its really good i chopped off the chewed up peugeot battery terminals and replaced them with some good solid metal ones. Then covered in lube. >> Hi >> Just gone out to my car, put keys in turned and NOTHING, lights on dash [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > one terminal and I should imagine that is the problem one, but do both > while you are at it. Have you tryed and hit the starter motor it might be stuck.try that first.hope this helps ;from chris Addlestone Surrey.: > Hi > Just gone out to my car, put keys in turned and NOTHING, lights on dash [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Gordon :-( You can check that (if it is a manual gearbox) by putting it in gear and rocking back and forth a few times.

I thought it was maybe a relay or something similar, it's dark now and a tad cold so it looks like I will have to get kids up to push me in the morning, I will take it to the garage next door to were I work, I will let you know how it goes. thanks again for your help and advise Take it easy people Gordon > Hi > Just gone out to my car, put keys in turned and NOTHING, lights on dash [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Gordon :-( > Hi All > Tried everything you have advised, the starter isn't stuck (put it in [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] >> >>Gordon :-( Did u give the starter motor a little knock on the top to see if it is the starter,which i think it is. well good luck.from chris Addlestone Surrey.. > Hi > Just gone out to my car, put keys in turned and NOTHING, lights on dash [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Gordon :-( Sorry, I've joined this a bit late. You need to get someone else to turn the key, while you listen with the bonnet up, to see if you can tell where the click is coming from. If it is a light click, then it must be a relay somewhere, and the starter solenoid is not activating. Easy way to start is put ignition to on, then take large screwdriver and bridge from the heavy battery side terminal on the solenoid, to the small spade terminal. This is the one which is activated by the ign. switch, and bridging it will bypass the wireing. If the starter still does not do anything, then the solenoid has broken. If it starts, then you have a bad connection in the wiring somewhere. Or, as I had, the terminals in the ignition switch are too dirty to carry the solenoid current, which is quite high. You can effect a repair by adding a relay into the solenoid starter wire (the one from the ign. sw.). The later models "might" have a relay included, and if so this would only need to be replaced. Brian. PS, be VERY careful about hitting starter motors with hammers, you can dislodge the field magnets which are only glued in, and that then means bye bye starter motor, even if it was not faulty to start with. >>Hi >> Just gone out to my car, put keys in turned and NOTHING, lights on dash [quoted text clipped - 53 lines] > dislodge the field magnets which are only glued in, and that then means bye > bye starter motor, even if it was not faulty to start with. How Silly of me to think of hitting the starter.I should know better.or undo the starter bolts a little and turn the end a bit then do them up then try it ,GOOD LUCK From Chris Addlestone Surrey Hello ALL well it turned out to be a broken lead to the starter solenoid, it had corroded somewhere along it's length.......the little thin green one that kicks the solenoid into action....anyway people thankyou all for your help, and as for Chris, well mate in my years as an engineer I have hit more motors and bigger ones than you get on cars than anyone I know, its the first thing I do, if it don't work hit it :-) but the the other guy is right we shouldn't I know, but when it's cold and your fingers are frozen, it always seems like the right thing to do at the time.......yes I did hit it and it didn't make a difference (broken wire was the cause)....but its all sorted now Thanks to you all > >>Hi > >> Just gone out to my car, put keys in turned and NOTHING, lights on dash [quoted text clipped - 57 lines] > undo the starter bolts a little and turn the end a bit then do them up > then try it ,GOOD LUCK From Chris Addlestone Surrey |
