Could be flat battery - check with a good meter, it should show at least 11.9 volts at rest. Check both terminals are clean and tight. Check ground wire where it's bolted to the frame for clean and tight.
A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts with the engine off. At 75% charge it will read 12.4 volts, at 50% it will read 12.2 volts, & at 25% charge it will read 12 volts. Any less and the battery is basically dead. Must be checked with a digital volt meter.

Why doesnt my car start it has been sitting for 5 years and we changed the battery and still nothing but lights come on so whats wrong with the car if it doesnt make the click sound?
most likely tha starter is bad or the power to the starter is bad
A 1988 Integra won't always start when its hot outside. I hear the starter turning but the engine is not firing. When it does start it is accompanied by a sound by where the fuel pump is. Ideas?
Bad fuel pump? Possible bad relay under driver side dash; third one back from front of dash; I had problem where engine would sometimes crank but not start and could not hear fuel pump energize when key was turned on.

What would cause a 2002 Alero not to start not even a clicking sound when turning on the key?
First thing that I would do is check the battery. The clicking sound is the selenoid on the starter. Usually that means the starter is bad. Isn't very hard to replace. Hope this helped.
Where is the starter located in a 99 camaro and how do you tell if the starter is the reason it won't start?
well i dont know exactly where the starter is but you should be able to see it under the car around where the tranny bellhousing meets the engine at the fly wheel(auto) or flex plate(manual) either on the left or right side. if the car is not turning over at all then you can put a jumper from the battery to the starter solenoid and that should kick the starter on if it doesnt then you starter/solenoid is bad. but if you car turns over but doesnt start then your starter is fine.
You turn the ignition and all you hear is the turning sound but it wont start?
may be a bad starter..... or if the engine is cranking with no start it could be the ignition wires
Could your truck not turning over be because you have no gas in it?
If the engine will not turn over, that is, sound like it is turning, then the trouble is a dead battery or really bad battery clamps. If the engine will not 'catch' and start running, then there are a number of causes, one of which is having no fuel.

Check for fuel and spark
What fuse do you change if your car doesn't start?
If it cranks but doesnt start it could be your fuel pump relay or your fuel pump could be bad.
What would cause a clicking sound while starting a 89 Jeep Wrangler. When you turn the key it clicks but doesn't turn over motor. I replaced the Starter and selonoid but the same thing still happens.?
You mean a ticking sound while TRYING to start a jeep? If the jeep doesnt start and is making this noise then either it doesnt have enough amps to start or the starter is bad. You can have the battery tested for free at autozone. It could also be that your alterntor isn't charging the battery also.
Won't start no lights no sound nothing what could it be?
battery
Ticking sound from 2003 Expedition when turning ignition but engine won't start?
usually in any vehicle when the battery dies if you keep turning the key there will be a ticking sound and since the battery has no power left it wont turn over your engine therefor it not being able to start however if the battery is just fine you got me

On a 1994 Isuzu Amigo SOMETIMES when i turn my key to start it doesnt do anything i have to keep turning key off and keep trying and finally it will start...What causes that?
Either the starter, starter relay or ignition switch are failing.
What part would I need if the car cranks but doesnt turn over?
Cranks is the motor turning over, But cranks and won't start means either you no fuel or no spark or both.
