If a car start or turn over and the starter has been replaced battery checked security light is flashing what do you do?

1.Check Security System: Ensure that the security system is not interfering with the ignition. Look for any indicators on the dashboard or security light blinking rapidly which may suggest that the security system is preventing the car from starting. Confirm if your key, remote, or transponder (if applicable) is working correctly and try unlocking and re-locking the vehicle to disarm the security system.

2.Scan for Diagnostic Codes: Connect an automotive diagnostic tool (scanner) to your car's diagnostic port. If a check engine light (or other warning light) is on, scan for any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) that might indicate a specific problem. This can provide additional information about the issue.

3.Examine Starter Circuit: If the starter has been recently replaced, check the wiring and connections around the starter solenoid and starter motor. Ensure that the connections are tight and free of corrosion. It may be necessary to reattach or replace loose wires if needed.

4.Check Fuel Supply: Confirm that the car is getting fuel by verifying the fuel level in the tank and listening for the sound of the fuel pump when you turn the ignition to "ON" position.

5.Ignition System: Verify that there is no issue with the ignition system. Some cars have an ignition switch that can become worn out or broken. Check if the ignition switch turns easily when you insert and turn the key.

6.Battery Terminals: Ensure the battery terminals are clean, free of corrosion, and properly tightened. If the connections are loose or dirty, this could affect the car's ability to start.

7.Immobilizer System: Some modern cars have an immobilizer system that prevents the car from starting unless the key or remote control has the correct code. If you have tried multiple keys and still can't start the car, the problem may be with the immobilizer system.

8.Relay Issues: Some vehicles have a relay that controls the flow of power to the starter. If this relay is faulty, it can prevent the starter from engaging, resulting in a no-start condition. Check the relay corresponding to the starter in the vehicle's fuse box and replace if necessary.

If none of the above solutions work, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified mechanic or automotive technician who can further troubleshoot and identify the root cause of the problem.
