cluster lights doesnt turn on, fuel doesnt prime, engine wont start.. not even crank..nothing.. when i put the key in i hear the annoying beeeping that the doors open. i press the hazard button and the arrows on the cluster works???

this car just sits beside my house. it was in an accedent so i cant drive it. but when i got the car back it started up fine. let it run for a bit..then it was cool... i took out the alarm and didnt start the car up for a while now. and decided i wanted to start it today...but nothing worked??

anyone kno the problem? iv recharged the battery over nite... checked all the wires for starter/ground etc from my alarm.. and it seems fine..

if anyone knows anything bout the problem itd help... oh yeah iv searched already i did find one thread about the same problem..ppl said the battery.. but its not

thanx Jay

 

Try tightening the battery cables.
I once had a similar problem when i relocated my batery, everything would turn on but when i would go to crank it: it would be like my battery was dead and right after that it would stay that way for 5 minutes. Tightened the cables and that was it.

hope that helps

last time this happened, the capacitors in my alternator took a dump on me. Check the alternator.

 

hmm sure ill check both methods : tightening cables/alternator..

it seems kind of weird tho. that the turn signals work on the cluster.. but when i put my key to the on position.. nothing lights up. like the normal battery/cel etc right?

and the only thing i did differently from the last start up was take out my alarm.

well, thax for the quick replies ill go check it out tomorrow see wuts up.

 

Sounds like you messed something up when you took the alarm out. Now it won't let you start it.

 

Check all your fuses!!!
Especially the ones under the hood

 

main relay?

 

Most likely it is when you took out the alarm. Check your ignition wires and make sure it not hook up to the alarm relay. If it is, remove the relay and reconnect the ignition wires.
