∙ 14y agoIt's possible. Your starter draws more power from your battery than the lights and radio combined, so they may work, but when you try to start you car, there isn't enough power in the battery to operate the starter. It's best to have your starting and charging system checked by a reputable automotive repair shop in order to isolate the cause.

∙ 14y agoCheck all of your wire connections from your battery, starter, and alternator. First, disconnect your batter to avoid electric shock, followed by your alternator and starter. Leave the wires in place, but disconnected. Acquire some electrical parts cleaner (brake parts cleaner may work, but could possibly leave a residue). Spray each wire end and scrub with a scotch brite pad, or wire brush until clean. NOTE: be careful not to scrub too much. Battery cables commonly have a lead coating on them to keep the copper underneath from corroding. Do not scrub the lead off, or corrosion may take place and cause the problem again. After scrubbing, spray the connections again to remove any loose contaminates, then reattach all of your wires in reverse order of removal. If this does not solve the problem, remove the starter, and take it to a local auto parts store to have them bench test it. Most places will do it for free.

You have 99 Chevy cavalier and it doest start is it battery radio still plays or is it starter and if it starter can i rebuild my own starter and if so how much would that be?
Sometimes there can be enough power in the battery to run electrical things but not enough to start the engine. You need to get the battery tested to see if it will hold a charge.You can try to jump start it using another battery. If it will not start this way,try charging the battery first before going on to the starter. If it turns out to be the starter, you can have it rebuilt. This can run about 20.00-40.00.
What would cause a 2002 Chevrolet ZR2 to try to start then the lights just flicker and the truck makes a ticking noise but won't crank The radio still plays and the lights don't get dim and go out.?
it could be a multitude of problems: ur battery could be to the point where it barely has enough power to turn over but the radio and lights are still powered, ur alternator coulda went out and its not powering ur battery enough to start it up but ur batter still has a small charge and runs the radio and lights and such, or most likely the cillanoid on the starter is bad and u need to replace it.....or u can jus go see a mechanic and pay the money to hav the problem fixed cuz wikianswers doesn't solve everything....but good luck

Why does the car beep when the door is open and the key is not in the ignition?
Most likely because you left your lights on. Every vehicle plays some kind of chime or warning when you open your door to leave your vehicle when you have the keys out of the ignition. This is to prevent you from leaving your vehicle unattended with the lights on, so you don't kill your battery.

How do you know that a tragedy is a problem play not a revenge play or Shakespeare's tragedy?
A play could be all three. Hamlet, a tragedy by Shakespeare, and also a revenge play, is thought by some to be a "problem play" because it does not fit their definition in some way. And that is what makes people call plays "problem plays"--they have decided that plays have to follow certain rules which they made up, and when Shakespeare doesn't follow their rules it's a "problem". The only rules Shakespeare went by were: the people must like it and the government must tolerate it.
