took the battery off my car the other day and put it back on and this light came up, tried starting it but all it did was turn over... cant hear fuel pump priming on ignition, what could it be?

Got a pic of the one you mean? If its what I think you mean then it's for injection system.

You mean the "heartbeat monitor" light? It shows there is an electrical fault.

Electrical Fault Light... Check fuses and all connections to the battery first.

What else did you do (why did you remove the battery)?

I took it off to check engine mount underneath and when I put battery back on this light appeared and now won't fire

it looks like a heartbeat monitor machine yeah, any ideas on what to do?

Many thanks

It's gonna need plugging in really to find out what's going on. Have you tried locking and unlocking again?

It's not imob related as the car is allowing you to spin it over so its more likely to be something daft like a fuse to a circuit or a main power relay.

Have you tried locking and unlocking again?

Quick one mick, why does that fix things? I had a fault with my accelerator (whenever it was fully depressed, heartbeat light came on), locked and unlocked it went away!

 

[MicKPM]

It's the Renault equivalent of "have you tried turning it off and on again"

 

[clio_sport_172]

Yeah tried locking and unlocking, just stays on, I've swapped all the relays over with my friends apart from one, the pink one??? Could this be it? Thanks

 

[clio_sport_172]

Could it be the key???

 

[MicKPM]

What stays on, the EFL? No, that's nothing to do with the key.

Personally, and with all due respect, I think that if you've not done anything and all the fuses have been confirmed as being okay then this will be beyond your ability to fix. Without seeing it/having the ability to test certain circuits/components then help will be tricky.

Far as Im aware, there's nothing electrical about the key. It's not an immobiliser fault as the car turns over. You checked all the fuses (both I'm the engine bay and fuse box inside the car?)

Check ones related to the engine etc first.

 

[clio_sport_172]

I appreciate all the help, I will test all fuses and relays again and keep you informed off what the outcome is, thanks.

Thought the car still turns over with immobiliser faults, just dosnt fire (thats what my mk1 does anyway)?

Light goes on, light goes off = not security/key fault on any modern Renault from 1999 on.
