Hi everyone, when i go to start my 1200 by push button start , It does nothing, not even a noise from the starter motor . i have tested the push button so i know it is not that and i have charged battery even tried jumpstarting off another car. Could this be my microtech or starter motor related .

try using a length of wire between the positive on the battery to the small terminal on the starter motor (signal to activate the starter that normally comes from the ignition barrel when you turn the key)

just tap it on and see if the starter turns, that will tell you if its the starter or not

yeh, if there is absolutely no noise from the starter motor then it's probably the solenoid (which usually clicks). to test this hold a spanner between the positive terminal (on solenoid) and earth and the starter motor should spin.

if there is a click but no rotation, then its the actual motor itself.

Please ignore this post until Ronald rethinks his advice.

A common thing is to make sure that the battery lead is tight on the startor motor. If there is a sufficient voltage drop from the battery to the starter the solonoid won't even click but you will have all of your dash functions. Earth connections are also a commonly overlooked area. The amount of times If I had $1 for every car that come into work for lpg problems or hard start problems and found loose battery terminals I would have a much better paint job on the datto.
