Ignition switch going bad, corroded or loose battery cables, starter relay or starter going bad.

How about if it doesnt make any noise when you try to started but the batterie is find?
No noise when you try to start the vehicle usually indicates a dead battery, or a loose or disconnected cable/wire at the starter, solenoid (starter relay switch), or ignition switch.
Why will a 2001 VW Passat not turn over?
Most likely he has to turn the ignition on when he tows the car, to prevent the steering lock from activating. As you know, leaving the ignition on will reset the system, so by the time he's back at the workshop the problem has gone away by itself.

How do you jump the starter on a 94 Ford Escort?
I had to do this once. Look behind the engine by the firewall, you will see the starter, you will see a big wire and a small wire, unplug the small wire from the starter, get yourself a long peice of electrical wire, wrap one end around the small terminal on the starter, then turn the ignition on, then touch the other end on the positive battery cable then the engine should turn over, if it doesnt then you need a new starter.If it does most likely you need a new ignition switch or relay.

Most often it is the starter and not the ignition.

Does you car starts??? if no that means your battery doesnt have enough adequate power...there are 2 things... your battery maybe damaged or your alternator is damaged causing not charging up the battery..but if your car starts..try to reset your computer by unplugging the negative battery then turn the ignition on for 20 seconds then plug the negative battery back..now check if you still have the battery lights on..cheers..

How can you tell if the starter is bad on a Honda accord 1999 ex v6?
Does it it start sometime and not others? Does it click when you turn the ignition to start but doesnt start? Then its probably bad. Make sure your battery is fully charged first.

How do you fix a parasitic battery draw on a 1999 dodge grand caravan?
only way to fix that problem, is to find out what is drawing the power.This can be caused by an accesory that doesnt not shut power off when ignition is shut off, or by a short in the wiring in the vehicle somewherehave the starter motor checked for a short as well, as some starters when worn will draw enuff power to drain battery, but not enuff to turn starter,when ignition is off.
Why the check engine light doesnt come on before starting your ford explorer?
It should come on when you turn on the ignition and then go off after a few seconds. If it does not, then the bulb is burnt out or has been removed.
