Sup guys! I need some expert help, yesterday i was out drving my rx8 and she was running fine. Came home and parked her in the garage as i Always do.

Today in the morning when i turned the ignition on and cranked, she cranked once and that was it. After that nothing happens when i try to crank it! No sound nothing. Everything else turns on just fine without her cranking.

Worth mentionen is that a few weeks ago I replaced the battery with a new one and about 6 months ago I replaced the starter since I had the old one which would crank forever Before it started.

Also i live in sweden so taking it to the dealer under warranty is not an option since i originally imported the car from US.

Any help is appriciated

Hi just replying with my thoughts about your car not starting. I would take a look at the starter motor as it sounds as though its not even working or getting the electric current needed. Possibly a wire has came off, not sure whether it would also possibly have a fuse or relay which has blown which would also stop the electric current getting to it.
Hope this helps and you get problem fixed :-)

Could be something as simple as the cut switch on an manual failing, or an automatic not being all the way in park.

Time to get a voltmeter (and a helper) out and see what's getting voltage and not when you try to start it.

Check that the starter solenoid trigger wire didn't fall off. Its a push on small wire that you put on when you installed your starter. They can fall off after they have been pushed on and off a few times and gotten loose
