Test it by finding the cylinoid, using something metalscrew driver, etc. and cross it on the hot and negative posts of the cylinoid, if the car starts the cyliniod is bad,if it does nothing, the starter is bad or a wire is loose..NOTE : If car is manual, (5 or 6 speed) make SURE car is in neutral and the parking (emergency) brake is ON !! or else the car migh "jump" "go" and run over you while doing this...

Why wont my Chrysler turn on but the battery and starter are good while ignition lights wont even turn on inside?

If the battery is good and the starter is good, then you must have a wire disconnected somewhere.


How do you start your 1997 Nissan sentra when you put a new starter alternator battery in and it won't start it makes a click noise and the lights and stereo still work?

Sometimes, brand new batteries need to be charged for a while before they have the power to engage the solenoid/starter properly. The battery may have enough jucie to light up the headlights and run the stereo, but not to crank the engine.


What can it be if car want start but all the lights come on alternator or starter.?

The alternator generates electricity, so it's not part of the starting system, which uses the stored electricity in the battery. If the lights work, the battery must be pretty well ok. The starter might be stuck, or it might have failed.


If a car wont start but all lights come on and when you turn the key you hear clicking is that the starter?

Yes, the clicking is the starter, but there's probably nothing wrong with it. Your battery doesn't have enough juice to turn the starter motor (draws lots of current), but still has enough to turn on the lights and accessories. Try jump starting it or trickle charge the battery.


Car wont start wont even turn over the lights are on so its not the battery?

If it will not turn over you have an electrical problem. Start by removing the battery cables and cleaning the cables and battery posts. If that does not solve the problem, then put a charger on the battery and let it fully charge. Turn on your headlights and try to start the car. If it still will not turn over and the lights do not dim you probably have a bad starter or starter solenoid. But make sure your battery is good. If you can jump start it with another vehicle the battery is bad. It can also be a defective ignition switch.
