Some possibilities, could still be the battery, battery connections, starter, starter connections, ignition switch, starter relay and neutral safety switch.


Why won't my Mercedes Benz 300D start when the radio and lights work?

I had the same problem. The fuse for the radio either needs to be cleaned or replaced I believe it is the third fuse from the bottom on the left side of the fuse box. It effects the relay in some way. I changed the fuse (which was not blown) and cleaned the fuse contacts, haven't had a problem since.


Ford Taurus Engine makes clicking noise not turning over. Lights and radio work fine also theft light flashes. What could be wrong?

Sounds like the battery terminals need a good cleaning. Pick up a battery terminal cleaner at an auto parts store, or just use a wire brush and take the battery terminals off and give them a good cleaning. Then you should be good to go.


The key wont turn the ignition for the jeep to start?

When you insert a key into an ignition and it won't turn could be a couple of resons. One could be that the ignition is worn out and unable to match the cuts on the key or the key was improperly cut. Many GM vehicles (and potentially others) have a steering wheen lock that will lock the ignition key. Simply turning the steering wheel in either direction will fix this.


My 1988 BMW 735i won't start it doesn't make any noise but all the lights work and the radio and horn works but its not turning over can you help me?

i assume there is no clicking sound??? possible causes could be a faulty igntion switch, try hitting under the steering column where your ignition key goes in, give it some real good hard hits, and try, if it cranks/starts, you have a faulty ignition switch, if not, you may have a blown fuse, a bad battery, or a bad starter, generally speaking, alot of clicking, means a faulty battery, one click, or few clicks means faulty starter,

Where is the starter relay on an 86 jetta?

there is no relay for the starter. there is a solenoid (switch) and ignition switch. the solenoid is part of the starter (small cylindrical shape above starter housing. the solenoid has the battery and ignition connections). and the ignition switch is where the car-key goes. you need at least 8v from the ignition to the solenoid for the starter to operate. use a multimeter. otherwise check your starter - battery connections. otherwise replace the starter. otherwise, take off the starter and inspect inside the starter housing. if the starter is clicking but not turning the engine the starter teeth aren't engaging with the teeth on the flywheel. get a manual to the car here: http://www.germanautoparts.com/Books/Volkswagen

A clicking sound when you turn the key could mean your battery is dead. It could also indicate the starter is going out.


Why do I hear a clicking noise when turning the key in the ignition then on the 3rd try the car does start?

The clicking noise you can hear is the starter solenoid clicking into place. If the starter motor does not turn the engine immediately, it is probably the best place to look. it sounds like the starter motor is faulty.


WHY IS MY CAR IS NOT TURNING ON COULD IT BE THE PULLEY?

Can be a dead battery, defective starter, loose or corroded battery connection, or blown main fuse. If nothing comes on when you turn on the ignition switch and your interior lights are not working it is not the starter.

Wont start makes clicking noise when you turn it over?

Does the engine turn over and then make the clicking noise while trying to start, or does it not do anything but make the clicking noise when you turn the key. If its not turning over at all then it might be a battery problem, Try cleaning the battery terminals, and/or charge the battery, Could also be the starter solenoid, but start with the battery first.


What would make a Daewoo not start?

Most probably its the starter coil. That's evident if on turning the ignition key, there is a clicking sound. It may be also bad alternator with a worn out battery No fuel getting to engine or spark plugs not firing for some reason. Sorry, you have to find out which.


Your 1993 mercury grand marquis will not start after you turn the ignition you already changed the starter and it still wont start sometimes?

If you can hear your starter motor turning but not the engine you have some teeth missing on the ring gear. If you can hear nothing, not even the starter motor solenoid clicking into place, you have a connection problem between ignition switch and starter motor.
