Default Starting issue 2008

I have replaced the starter on my 2008 landrover lr2 and it still isn't starting. Rolled out the start button also. Please help

Did you test the terminal at the starter to see if it's getting power when you press the start button?

Are you getting crank, or no-crank?

Did you check for OBD2 codes?

I assume you already tested your battery and it's good.

If power is getting to the starter terminal and it's not cranking, you might have a defective replacement starter.

If power is not getting to the starter terminal, then check the relays/fuses in the ignition circuit.

Let us know the resolution.

Pull the starter and try to crank it by itself by pressing the starter button. If there is power going to it and it doesn't work then you got a bad starter.

We started the starter yesterday and now when I went to try and start it today and press the brakes the navigation would blink and then the radio said low battery. Which we have on the charger as we speak.

Wait, what? You never checked battery voltage until now?

- What seems to be the problem?
- My computer is not working.
- Did you plug it in?
- Umm... Maybe that's it.
- There's your sign.

A bad starter can suck up the juice on the battery lickety split. Don't ask me why, but it happened to me and left me stranded some weeks ago.
