Renault megane 1.6dci - Renault Megane Wont Start - hybrid-performance

Ok so i have a problem.. I have seen the other threads however mine still doesnt work..

After Jump starting a van this megane will not start sayin 'electronic fault'.

I have done the usual test and replaced all of the 3 battery fuse's.

I have a ODB11 tester and im not getting any responce from it..

On trying to start it lets the blowers work indicators ect.

I really do not know what to do now.. Problem is the customer is self employed and needs this car for work so a manic rush...

Please help..

Thanks in advance.

have you checked the main battery fuse to the positive power lead.?It is usually one or more of the fuses blown on top of the battery that causes this fault after a jump stsrt.hth

I assume you jump started the van with the megane still connected and engine running. Very bad idea on any modern car. You can run the megane to charge the Van battery but always disconnect it before trying to start the Van. Regards Peter
