Why would your lights not work after you replace the starter?

Defective starter or weak battery. Can also be a loose connection at the starter.

Starter, replace the contacts and plunger

Loose or corroded battery cable? Engine seized? Bad starter? Bad starter solenoid? Bad neutral safety switch?

Check that the Starter wire is in good shape. In 97 Grand Ams they were faulty and not giving enough power to the starter. If that doesn't work try the ignition switch or module. then the wiring. See if you can hear things engaging like the fuel injection. That would be a clue that it's trying to get power but something is blocking it. Then check the more expensive things like the starter (some places…

If the batteryu & starter are good, I would check the neutral safety switch

It might be the starter or if the stater works but won't turn over replace the solonoide at autozone.

replace the break light bulbs?

If the lights are bright, the starter may have failed. If the lights are dim and the starter turns over slowly (RRRRrrr . . .) the battery my need to be charged. If the lights are bright and the starter cranks normally, failures in the ignition system may be the cause. The engine needs a strong battery with clean, tight connections, fuel and spark. You are missing one of those.

change the fuse if not replace flasher

Assuming the starter does not crank over the engine. Bad starter, starter solenoid or relay. Bad battery. Loose/dirty connections between battery and starter. Bad or out of adjustment neutral safety switch.

You don't you need to replace it.

I am having this same problem. The lights for the license plate don't work either. I have had two mechanics suggest to me that I replace the HeadLight Switch. I am thinking about ordering one on Monday.

Answer If the bulbs check out OK then I would check for a loose ground wire. Replace your turn signal switch, that's what I had to replace to get mine working again.

faulty solenoid.on the starter.

You could push start it but I would advise against it as the P/S & P/B would not work and you would have to get the vehicle up to around 35 mph. Why not just remove and replace the starter?

Simple-wring problem, or you just need to replace the bulbs.

You should never do repair work on a vehicle if you are not trained to do so. Find a reputable repairman to replace your infinity's starter.

I understand that the starter is under the intake manifold and is quite a bit of work to replace. Could take several hours.

Some times the battery will have enough power to turn lights on but not enough to turn the engine over. Try to jump start it or replace battery with one you know is charged. By the way-nice car.

remove the neg battery cable then the wires on the starter. Then take out the mounting bolts and work the starter out.

You probably need to replace your brake light switch. It's near the top of the brake assembly, beyond a trim panel. The fact that all three brake lights don't work rules out problems in the multifunction switch (the cause of similar problems affecting only the two rear lights.)

How do you replace brake lights

Pull out slightly on the headlight switch. If the fog lights do not respond you need to replace the switch.

It could either be a starter gone bad or it could be a bad cylinoid. If the starter motor does not spin that would cause the engine not to turn over. The best thing is to buy the cylinoid first then if that does not work replace the starter motor. It never hurts to replace both.

Replace the light bulbs that are burned out, usually from the back side of the instrument cluster.

hazards and turn signals have separate flashers. replace flasher for turn signals

You need to be more specific about your problem, e.g. starter fails to work, lights do not work etc

The starter is worn out. Eventually tapping it won't work anymore and you will be stuck. Replace it before that happens.

Look for either a blown fuse or replace flasher unit for the signal lights (it is separate from the hazard lights flasher unit).

I had this same thing happen in my '90 prelude. It is the switch on your steering wheel. Mine was all one piece with the signal lights and all so, you have to take the steering wheel off and replace the whole part. For quite some time I was able to find the 'sweet spot' on the switch where the lights would work, but everytime I went over a bump they would go out. I…

The starter may be at fault.

follow the pos battery cable to find the starter. Remove the neg cable then the wires to the starter and the mounting bolts and work it out.

Make sure the starter is bad then remove the neg battery cable then the wires from the starter, take the bolts out that hold it on and work it out.

The first thing to do is check the starter relay which is below the motor. If that doesn't work, the starter must be completely removed and replaced.

Your starter is going bad. I have seen this work once, for a week, and for years. It can completely go out at any moment. It probably is time to replace the starter.

Battery cable connections may not be tight. The starter could be bad. The starter solenoid could be bad. Check to see if the lights work. If they do, leave them on and try to start the vehicle. IF the lights dim, you have a bad battery connection somewhere or a bad starter.

Our 04 Envoy had a recall on turn signals and tail-lights, they just had to replace a relay. I would check with your dealer to see if your vehicle has been recalled.

you have to replace the dashboard lite fuse in the fuse pannel ,it is located under the dasboard on the left side

First, check the ground to the starter and confirm that you have power to the starter. If you do, the starter should work fine. Second, you can always remove the starter and check if the gear can spin and the spindle depresses at all. If not, replace the starter.

It took me about 4 hours of work to replace it but is form the top view at the back of the engine right under the fuel injection system you would need to have it unassembled and taken off to get access to the starter.

Check for loose battery cable Check for loose connection on starter Replace starter solenoid

replace the lamp socket they short in a strange way, it happened to me 3x. the socket carbonized from bulb heat

Could be a number of reasons but the first one that comes to mind is that the starter assembly is NG (no good).

If dash and parking lights do not work - check the fuses May also be a bad headlight switch The tail lights and brake lights on my 2002 would not work at the same time. Had to replace whole tail light assembly. Was told problems with jeeps-the circuit boards in older jeeps overheat and short out.

Have you checked it's starter?

First, check the fuse box and replace the fuse for the indicator lights. If the lights still do not work then replace the dash bulb itself.

You should locate the fuse box in your A8 to see if the fuse for the lights is burned out, and if that doesn't work, then you should replace the bulbs that don't work in the car.

Replace the fuses if they go out its a short. Good luck finding that

with the information you've given, it sounds like a weak battery.

If it does not turn over, but the lights work, you have a bad starter.
