Hi. I have a ford fiesta finesse 1.25 zetec. Car has been stood idle for a year at least. Jump started yesterday to be moved onto trailer and started again on its own to be removed from trailer. However after changing the battery, it now wont start. Car will not turn over and there is no noise from the starter solenoid. Ignition lights come on and stay on while attempting to start but the odometer display and radio turn off. Headlights do not dim while attempting to start. Have rechecked battery connections and have attempted to jumpstart again but nothing. Any idea of whats wrong?? Craig
