Your BMW makes a clicking sound when ignition switch is on lights working and radio on what do you need to do to get it started?

first thing to check is the battery cables, corrosion will allow enough current for lights but not enough to engage the starter, once the terminals and cables are cleaned and tightened go to where the positive cable is connected to the starter and make sure it is clean and tight, then there is a smaller wire also going to the starter, same for it. If nothing helps have the battery tested, then remove the starter and have it tested as well before replacing either one

ON MY 93 CHEVY LUMINA When the key is turned in the ignition there is a clicking sound but the lights and radio still work any idea of what this is?
Most likely the battery is weak and dying. Enough voltage and current to make the solenoid barely engage (clicking in and out), but plenty of current and voltage for the radio and some of the lights.

94 Geo Prizm clutch going out Car dies when stopped has to be restarted Died at stop today and when went to start just made clicking noise Lights radio working has new starter and alt in last 6 mos?
I just had the same thing happen with my Nissan. Your car died because your battery is bad. The clicking sound is also because your battery is bad most likely. It could be your starter, but always start with the cheap and easy fixes before moving on. If it's not you battery it is either you starter or your ignition.
Why does 1999 Jeep Cherokee Laredo makes crazy clicking sounds when ignition is turned off and when driving the gauges and radio go crazy when lights get turned on?
Your clicking msy me your sc duct door acuator with a strip gear and for your gauge problem snd radio sounds like a bad ground check and make sure you have a ground from your battery to your engine and from your engine to the frame and from your frame to your body.

What make the brake lights stop working when the ignition is turned on?
Bulbs blown/Brake lamp switch inoperative
Dash lights not working at night sometimes not starting clicking?
check the wiring connections at the battery and the starter. Both places can give starting problems. The dash lights could be a separate problem. Check the fuses for the lights.
Is it normal for the check engine light to come on with the key turned on but not stay on until engine is started?
It is normal if other lights come on at the same time. All of the reminder/warning lights should come on when ignition is in idle (key's in ignition, but the car is not running)
If the turn signal indicators on the dash and the turn signal lights themselves are not working but the fuse is OK are the bulbs out?
do you hear clicking noise -as if the inficators were working? If not then go check the flasher relay and its connections.
Clicking inside glove box 1995 Jeep Cherokee?
If this clicking only happens when your turn indicator or hazard lights is on it's the flasher unit working. If not it's the stuff in the glove box rolling around probably.

How do you get non-working running lights on a 2003 Subaru Legacy to go on?
Many modern Subarus have a small rocker switch on top of the steering column to operate the parking lights with. This switch will operate the lights regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.
