Car Won T Start But Lights Come On

When you try to start the car the lights should either dim considerably or turn off completely.
Car won t start but lights come on. Car won t start just clicks while at first you may not think this is a battery problem because the radio and lights work but 9 out of 10 times this problem is caused by a weak battery. If you drive an automatic make sure your car is in park. Jumpstart your car with a jump box or another car to get back on the road. If it doesn t start it could still be the starter.
Some newer models won t allow the driver to start a vehicle if his her seat belt is undone. If you re not sure turn on the headlights. My car won t start but the lights come on. I also tried to reset the anti theft system since this has been a big issue with these kind of cars and.
If the red warning lights do light up turn the key to the start position. A clicking noise when turning the key usually indicates a problem with the starter motor. I can hear the fuel pump when i try to start it but it don t click or make any other sound. If your car won t start but the lights and radio work fine it could be one of several problems possibly including a dead battery.
If a car will not turn over but the lights and radio still work the problem is either a bad starter motor or a faulty ignition switch. Most cars won t start when the transmission is in drive and or your foot is not on the brake. I have a 2002 chevy malibu. This can get you out of a bind really.
If it works you know the starter is going out. So yesterday i got back from lunch at 3pm and then i go to leave work to go home and jump in car press brake hit start stop button to start car and wont turn over or nothing but all the lights on the dash start blinking and dancing. The reason why the radio dash lights headlights and other electronics draw power while the engine doesn t has to do with the amount of current each device draws and what may be interrupting the path. Get in and put the car in first and the turn the key and release the clutch the car should start up.
In most cars the dash warning lights should turn off at this key position. Try starting your car after you fasten your seat belt. If you have a manual car a way to get around this temporarily is to push the car until it s going 4 5 mph. If they do your ignition switch should be good.
Keep trying and same thing. I have checked the battery and its pretty new so i doubt that is the problem. No clicking sound and no sound from the engine can indicate a bad ignition switch.
