Currently my car wont start...my gauges go on when I turn the key, I hear the starter wanting to start but no go. When I turn my ignition on to hear the radio I get nothing... Any advice....

 

Does the car turn over at all? Sounds like it might be a bad starter, maybe.

 

no it doesnt. You can just hear the starter clicking making that tick tick tick noise when you turn the key. Remember my radio doesnt go on either.

 

stock radio??......Radio's are connected to the ignition to only on with the hey in......when you turn on the car or try does the cluster light up?? like the warning signs and SRS etc?? if so I don't think it can be your ignition.

 

yeah the cluster lights come up. but again not radio on the on possition either. any one else got any ideas

 

check your battery. If it's bad, or low it will not turn your radio on and the car will not start. Try hooking your car up to a battery charger and see if it'll start.. I'm betting it's your battery that is to low.

 

I had to replace an ignition relay switch last year. Occasionally when I turned my key, the starter wouldn't turn over. I don't really remember what else was or wasn't turning around at that point. At first I thought that my floormat was bunched underneath my clutch pedal, so I wasn't depressing it far down enough. I would automatically reach down to tug at the mat. Then the next try would start the car. Finally the switch got bad enough that it was getting cranky two times in a row, I realized the floormat had nothing to do with it...

Sorry for that long ramble. lol. Just trying to help. Good luck dude.

 

sup sup .. well i had that prob before... that my car would crank but it wouldnt start up ... i thought it was the alternator battery..blah blah .. and all that other shiet.. but it wasnt...it turned out to be the freaking fuse... so yea.. check that...

 

battery or alt. autozone does free checks.

^^^ What he said^^^ Always start with the obvious stuff first.

I learned this is hard way. My low beams went out one night. I spent half the next day tracing switches, relays and wires with a DVOM, only to finally figure out I blew both my low beam headlight filaments at the same time.
