When I put the key in the ignition on my car doesn't send signal to the car and it only trys to start but it can't because it doesn't turn all the lights on because when the car has all lights on it starts so you all know whats the problem
I put a new radio in using all correct wire harness needed. Everything is connected correctly but when I start the car I have no power to the radio. Any ideas all would be helpful.
I did the same thing only I didn't use a wire harness if I had to connect all the wires one by one and I wasn't getting any power to the stereo once I would turn the key on and it didn't get any power at all unless I had the red wire constantly connected to the hot but after I ran a wire from the red to a fuse in the fuse box to the left of the console inside my car turned it on and still nothing but then I push the power on the stereo itself and voila not sure if this will help you but after you turn the key on try pushing the power on the stereo sometimes you have to do that initially but then after once you turn the key off and then on again the stereo will power up on its own hope this helps
Have a 2000 Z24 have had all the issues you people do found a little 3 inch hose coming off the map sensor to the fuel injection replace the hose my TCP traction control went off engine check light went off ABS lights went off hope this helps you mechanics are assholes
Fuel injectors were leaking. Replaced. O-ring split on install (without knowing). Gas filled (gallons) exhaust system. Fuel was leaking everywhere, blasting out tail pipe, blew a bunch of carbon out. Replaced o-rings. Changed spark plugs. Changed oil filter, replaced oil. Still ran rough. Fan was kicking on when it shouldn't (54 degrees out). Thermostat froze, replaced thermostat. Flushed radiator, replaced coolant. Rough start, once running it runs smooth on the freeway, no missing or anything. Starting scares the crap out of me. Check engine light comes on. It's throwing a code saying fuel to rich (or something like that). Planning on replacing the oxygen sensor. Any other ideas?
Same put new alternator in 2months ago oil light comes on but dont need oil. Before starting problem all dash lights stayed on except blinkers didnt work all asudden went dead. Let set over night still Now battery drained& lights still work but dead battery Just clicks
Up until I replaced the heater core a couple days ago, all of the lights on and in my car worked fine, after I finished putting the dash back together I went for a drive and noticed as it was getting dark that my dash lights are not working. So I went home and grabbed my 12 v light tester and checked all of the fuses with the lights turned on and the ignition on. All of the fuses are good, so I took apart the dash and traced the wires back to the instrument cluster, everything seems good but still no dash lights??? Could somebody please help me with this? Thank you
I've change the battery and starter in the car still won't kick on so I replaced the starter again and the solenoid and it won't kick on but it will kick on with a screwdriver I help I need my car
Sounds like a fuse issue, (especially if it will crank with a screwdriver at the solenoid). Consult the owners manual as there is more than one fuse related to the ignition system. If the starter was recently replaced, have you ensured the wire contact lugs were clean and free from corrosion before attaching to the starter? Due to the starter location, these contact lugs are especially susceptible to corrosion. My guess is that you just need to replace the ignition fuse.
I put a new stater in my car. Then i need a jump start. Started up then about 15 min it stole out and now all i here is a clicking noise and it wont start.
Drivers headlights are dimmer than passengers low beams and high beams. I've changed all 6 light bulbs (drivers and passenger front lights) and the drivers side is still dimmer. Any ideas?

I had the radiator hose replaced and then 2 days later it didn’t want to start and then after it sat for a few hours it started right back up. I took it to the shop but he found another hose bad and replaced that hose and told me that the antifreeze censor is making it not want to start but didn’t replace the censor and now my car don’t want to start at all even after sitting
I had a radiator hose issue and had the shop put it back on then 2 days later my car wouldn’t start then 4 hours later it started again. I went back to shop and he told me it could be the sensor for antifreeze but didn’t change it out now it’s doing the same thing again but won’t start even after 4 hours acts like it wants to but doesn’t
Drove my car to work one day and drove home. Next morning went to drive it to work again but, wouldn't start. Have replace coil module and spark plugs due to 1,3 having low visible spark. Still no start. Checked timing and appeared to have jumped upper chain 7 teeth. Installed new timing kit and set timing for upper and lower timing chains. Still no start. I'm confused about this. Is there anyone who might know what's going on? Please help. I'm borrowing bosses truck, so really need my car running.
Check the magnet on the crank sensor, I had one break off once, struggled an struggled to figure it out. If you got no signal from the crank sensor, it'll never start.
Dash lights that come on when you turn the key on don't come on now car will crank but no start talking about oil light and everything like that before the car starts had the problem before we take the key out put it back in then it would be fine now nothing
