Car won't turn over on good battery and starter

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked by PeaBrane on February 14, 2021

The car is a 2007 Mazda6 3L which I parked overnight and won’t turn over in the morning anymore. I did some preliminary diagnostic and ruled out some possibilities:

  • The battery is full, 12.4 V.
  • The starter is good, so is the connection from the load side of the relay to the starter. I was able to jump the starter powering the relay.
  • The ignition switch is good, I hear a click even with the relay removed.

When the starter is jump started, the engine shakes but it still doesn’t start, so I’m think maybe the fuel injection system is locked by safety feature. I’m thinking the neutral safety switch, but had no luck starting in other gears as well. Is there anything else I should check for?

Edit: There was a u0100 code that popped up, has to do with lost communication with the ECU. Not sure if related.

I assume you have already tested the battery with a voltmeter and found it over 11.9vdc. Do you have a jumpstarter? If you can jumpstart your car, then it means that the issue lies somewhere in the battery connectors, the engine ground or the battery itself. Eliminate all the possible causes one by one, and then you will find the root of the problem.
