Fiji ST Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 My friend has a 2013 Fiat 500 Sport manual. It won't start. Has power, everything works, but nothing once the key is turned. He tried to jump it and put a new battery in. Still won't crank. Said his brake pedal is rock hard, but I doubt that has anything to do with it. Any help?

iwashmycar Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 starter? Reach up under there by the CV and hit it with something a few times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Security not letting it crank? Safety switch because manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Have you tried to bump start it to see if it will run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiji ST Posted September 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Have you tried to bump start it to see if it will run? Yes he tried with AAA but it wouldn't work. Probably didn't get it going fast enough. Also got it scanned and no codes. It's at his garage to get looked at tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmonda Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Run a jumper cable from the positive terminal on the battery to the post on the starter and try it. It doesn't take much corrosion inside a starter cable for it to not have enough conduction to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewtoys Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Starter + Check the ground. Disconnect all of them, and clean the contact area. Common issue. As for the brakes, the 500 has a vacuum pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
