I own a BMW 328is 1996.recently I have had problems with my door handles not opening, so I have had them replaced with use door handles. the use door handles do not match my key which is coded. after the door handles were replaced I attempted to drive my car home however the starter will not engage after turning my key. I know that the starter is brand new because I recently replaced it also battery, spark plugs, spark plug boots, ignition, ignition switch and full current running through the car because of the accessories that were able to turn on however when ignition is turned all the way no attempt is admitted by the starter. any advice?

SOURCE: where is the starter relay

I'm not sure if the relays are marked by letters and numbers but the relay should be identified by the letter "K". One quick question; on the second attempt do you lose ALL power to everything? If this is the case you may be looking at a bad ground and would check the ground wire for starters at where it connects to the engine block. Wish I had a diagram of the fuse layout and hope it's marked by letters and numbers for you. I hope this helps and good luck.

Bmw 328is 1996.does my starter relay needs to be replaced if starter won't turn, nor attempt. Starter is new .also ignition and switch. Battery if full and accessories illuminated.

Hi Robert,does the vehicle have automatic transmission? If yes check the inhibitor switch on gearshift. It is there to stop you starting in any gear apart from Drive and Park

Bmw 328is 1996 .worked perfect , no problem starting at all until I had door handles replaced. Not car won't even attempt to start. battery, ignition, ignition switch, starter, spark plugs, spark plug...

Replacement Of Door Handles Will Not Cause Starter Relay To Directly Malfunction. It Will Cause Security System To Set And Not Allow Starter Relay To Work (not activate it)

1996 bmw 328is engine will not start, or crank. No fuse problems. No bad relays. No bad battery. Engine good. Transmission good.

maybe the starter itself is bad.. use you hot wire from your jumper cables to check it on the car..positive to the starter terminal..
