I was getting fault codes and check hybrid battery codes. I took the battery apart and found three bad cells and replaced them. When I put everything back together the car won’t start.

The car is clicking the connectors in the battery relay. But the car won’t start.

Hello,

I will help you fix this problem but I need to ask a few questions.

1. Does the security light flash when trying to crank the engine over?
2. Does the engine crank over but not start or does the engine not crank over?
3. Lets run the codes to see what come up, here is a guide:

Please run down this guide and report back.
