check the starter, or maybe check the battery may be enough voltage for lights, but not to crank the engine over.

What would cause a clicking noise only when lights are on and engine does not start?

Turn my key to start car and get nothing not even the gauges come on but yet the lights work and the instrument panel lights work why won't it turn over the starter on a 1968 camaro?
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.
Does the starter and alternator work together to charge a 1995 Windstar van?
Well not the starter. The starter is used to start spinning the engine and draws its power from the battery. The alternator uses the engines belt to recharge the battery and to power the cars electronics as well as lights. When you shut the engine off, the power then draws from the battery.
You Turn ignition keyhave lights and radio but no engine turnover?
Seized engine? Weak battery? Corroded or loose battery cables? Bad starter or starter solenoid? Bad neutral or clutch safety switch? Bad ignition switch?
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.

The battery has insufficient power to crank the engine but enough power to power the lights. The starter motor needs considerably more power than the headlight bulbs.

Can you take the power for car lights straight from a car battery?
When your lights are on and your engine is not running you are taking the power for your car lights directly from your battery. If you leave them on long enough, you will run down your battery and your car will not start. Then you will need a jump.
What is the problem when the car makes a clicking sound instead of turning over and starting?
It is one of several potential problems. If it's low battery voltage the battery is unable to maintain enough current to engage and operate the starter. If it's a loose or poor battery terminal connection the connection may be weak and not capable of carrying the current load of the starter motor. If it's a faulty starter it could be engaging but the electric motor part is not functioning. If the lights go completely off when you try to crank the engine, it's probably a bad connection. If the lights severely dim when you try to crank the engine it's probably a bad battery or alternator that is unable to keep the battery charged. A battery is only a storage device. It stores electrical energy that is created by the alternator. If the alternator has failed, the battery does not get charged and won't be able to start an engine. The battery can also just be old and unable to hold a charge. If the lights don't dim much when you try to start the engine it might be that the starter just isn't engaging.
