Unhappy My cat will not start.

Hey everybody, After after changing the transmission fluid, due to a leak, I received a transmission fault. After I parked the car, and waited to the next day, it will not start. All the dash lights come on, but it will not even try to turn over. Please advice.

It probably would help to describe the procedures you utilized.

Perhaps disconnecting the battery and shorting out the cables would help but you probably should get a code reader or download one on your smartphone and get one of those ELM 327 Chinese bluetooth code reader plug in modules that are all over ebay.

I've done my Tranny fluid twice in short succession just to be sure I got a mostly new fluid mix. No engine codes but plenty of aching muscles and a bit of mess to clean up. It's not a fun job is it. Especially that seal at the rear!

It might not be fully in 'park' or 'neutral'.

Also a symptom of a low battery . There is a process to reset the parking fault here if you search it. I had to do it whenever I would disconnect my battery .
