Why won't my MINI start?

Why won't my MINI start?

I have a mini Cooper 2005 hatchback 2 door, I changed the balljoints and bushings yesterday and now it does not start. All the lights and dashboard comes on. I tried jumping the battery and still nothing. What could be the problem?

Hi Eloy,

Sounds to me like you must have accidentally damaged or disconnected some wiring during the suspension work - most likely an earth strap or wiring to the starting motor. Take a good look underneath for anything amiss. Failing that, I'm afraid you'll need to get a good mechanic or auto electrician involved.
