Changed battery with new one, tried to start wipers and flashers and lights on and car won't start. It cranks but won't start.

Was this the issue before replacing the battery? Let me know.

Take a look through this link to see if anything helps. It covers the most common causes of a crank no start.

We jumped the old battery and it started after 2 days we jumped it again and that's when the issues started.

Hi,

Have you replaced the battery? When trying to start it, does it sound normal and turning fast enough to start? If it is, then we have to check if it is getting fuel and spark to the engine. Here are a couple links explaining how that is done:

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-check-fuel-system-pressure-and-regulator

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-test-an-ignition-system

The easiest thing to do is see if it starts for a couple seconds with starting fluid. If it does, then we know it is a fuel related issue. If it doesn't, then suspect it is an ignition spark related issue.

Let me know. Also, try the starting fluid trick and let me know the results.
