I have a 2013 Lexus ES 350 I was replacing the alternator and messed up the wires on my crankshaft wire before I repaired the wires it would crank over I bet after I repaired the wires it doesn't even crank at all what should I do
A couple of years ago my son in law changed the alternator in my daughter's 2013 Avalon and did the same thing, he broke the connector to the crankshaft position sensor without realizing he did so. The car would crank but not start. If yours cranked before you tried to repair the connector but now doesn't, that strongly indicates that the connector is broken or is wired incorrectly. You may need to splice on a new connector.
Good luck.
Thinking about this further, possibly you depleted the battery trying to start it with the broken wiring and now the battery is too weak to engage the starter. You may need to charge the battery.
What do you mean by "crankshaft wire"? The crank position sensor?
Go back over your work, most likely you have disturbed some wiring. Also, see the section on troubleshooting a no-start condition in the FAQ. The repair manual for your vehicle online at charm.li may be of some help.
For future reference please put your question in the body of your post, not the title line which is meant for a short description. Thank you.
