These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

1999 996 Carter�s - Changed the plugs and coils on the passenger side before Christmas no problem. Had changed the coils on the drivers side last spring, so just did the plugs on the drivers side this time. Afterwards, when I try to start the car it will not turn over. All the lights on the instrument cluster light up, but not even a click when I try to start it. I thought it might be the battery, but battery checks out and when I try to jump it still not turning over. Any idea on what I may have screwed up? Maybe connecting the wrong harness to one of the coils? Any help is greatly appreciated.

POST 2Original post

Check engine grounds ? Possibly disturbed one?

POST 3Original post

If you have another key, try it. Also make sure you are pushing the clutch all the way down, or make sure you haven't kicked the wire off the clutch switch. I know the instinct is to point the finger at the last thing, but many times this isn't the correct diagnostic procedure.

Engine grounds look fine. I almost hope it is something that simple.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 17941135

Thanks. I�ll check the clutch tomorrow and report back. Unfortunately, I�ve only ever had the one key.

POST 6Original post

While in neutral, try moving the clutch in and out to activate a suspect/failing switch there while starting. Try wiggling the ignition switch a few times. If you had two people, you could check to see if you have voltage at the starter while someone is turning the key. If you have voltage there, bad starter. I guess there is also probably a relay somewhere too? Can you hear that clicking at all?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

No clicking at all, which is the most curious piece of the puzzle. Started fine before changing the plugs. Started it, backed it on to ramps, turned it off, disconnected battery, changed plugs, reconnected battery, now nothing.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
