Hi there,

Your problem should be an open cranking circuit. Check and see if the starter solenoid wire is seated properly or not. You need to check for current supply to solenoid with ignition switch in cranking position.


Btw, check and see if the earth strap is broken or not, the one from the battery to the transmission.
