Why will the car not start or the headlights not come on when the battery is full charged?

Corroded battery cables. Remove the battery cables, negative first, and clean the cable connections and the battery posts. If that does not help the battery needs charging or is defective.

What causes the battery light to come on when the headlights goes on?
Your alternator may not be putting out enough Amps to charge your battery and run your headlights as well. You can test this by measuring the voltage from the battery with a multimeter. With the car running the volts should be around 14 or more on a 12 volt battery. Try it with the lights on too.
