No Crank No Start

[aymos5050]

Hi,


I am hoping you guys can help me. i have a BMW X5 2005 model, which wont start. One morning when i went to start the car it wouldnt respond. When i turn the key to start the car, the lights and and all systems on the dash light up but they is no response or sound from the starter. i have been running an investigation on my own and i have changed the battery, the starter, and i even purchased a new key from the dealer as i thought it might be the keys that have gone bad, but still the car wont crank. I managed to crank the starter directly using a screw driver as i wanted to make sure the starter was working, and it did crank but the car didnt start. Next i plan to investigate the ignition switch and the starter relay how ever, I have been looking around online for a fuse box diagram that matches the fuse box i have under my hood, but i cant find one, so im not too sure where the starter relay for this car is loacted. I am hoping you guys may have come across these problems before (1: no crank no start, 2: fuse box schematic for 2005 e53 model) and are able to throw some much need advice my way. Thank you in advance.
