If it isn't turning over then it may be a problem with your starter motor. If it is turning over but not starting then it could be a range of things. Fuel pump would be one thing to check.
If you turn on headlights and they are very dim then it could be that your battery is very flat (but enough charge to still run the dash lights as they are a much lower power rating then headlights etc)
1990 toyota celica when jumper cables are hooked up dash lights turn on but the car won't turn over won't even click
If you are wondering why this happens, it is completely normal. When you turn your key all the way to start the car, all the warning lights will come on do perform a lamp test. Also, the computer runs a quick test on all the sensors in the car and on all the lights on the dash to make sure everything is operating properly, once you start the car, these lights should all go out. If there are lights remaining lit on your dash, it may mean that your car needs to be serviced, always get warning lights checked if they come on while the car is running. Hope this helps!
That is too vague of a question. when you turn the key do the dash lights come on (two red lights on speedo). If so, when you turn the key to start the car, does the engine try to turn over? Is it turning over and not starting, or not turning over? or is nothing happening?
Do the dash lights come on now that you have put in a new fuse...Does the motor rotate or try to turn over....If not, it sounds like you have a bad ignition switch....
pretty much, if your impalas like mine, when you start the car, your headlights will come on, but you should have a little nob to the left of your steering wheel. it should be in the middle, if you pull it out, your lights will stay on, even after turning off your car, if you push it all the way in, your lights will turn off, you can also turn it to adjust brightness of dome lights and dash lights.
Check for a loose ground wire - sounds like lights are backfeeding searching for ground
When you jump start, at first there is only a little charge, and that charge has to go to all electronic features in your car, like the lights, radio, dash
when you turn the car on, usually the lights on the dash show up "ABS"
Most likely poor wiring.
Most likely your car battery is completley dead.
If the dome lights or lights under the dash don't turn off after exiting the car, you can try closing all doors properly and ensuring the parking brake is engaged. If they still do not turn off, there may be a faulty door switch or wiring issue that needs to be addressed by a mechanic. You can also try manually turning off the lights using the light switch if applicable.
fuse box will be in or under the glove box and the fuse will be blow stopping dash lights from coming on .
