The reason it wont start when the lights don't come on is because at that point your eec a.k.a. ecu,pcm or computer isn't coming on. the causes could be ignition switch or eec relay if you can locate the relay that is the most likely cause.
Are the lights in the dash coming on, and it just won't crank or are there no lights at all? If the lights are coming on you need an ignition switch.
If the 2000 Cavalier has no lights an will not start, there is an electrical issue. Check the battery, alternator, and the wiring from the battery all the way to the starter to find the problem.
If your 2003 Silverado is lurching or jerking when you start it the most common issue is the fuel pump.
No, the tailgate from a 2014 Silverado likely will not fit a 2008 Silverado without modifications. The Chevrolet Silverado underwent design updates and body changes between those years, especially since 2014 marks the start of a new generation (the third generation, while 2008 is from the second generation). These differences typically affect dimensions, fittings, and mounting points, making parts from different generations incompatible without significant adjustments.
the indicator unit is stuffed
fuse box will be in or under the glove box and the fuse will be blow stopping dash lights from coming on .

I always start with the basics.......fuses. Then go to bulbs...... Look in your fuse panel and see if you have one marked tail lights......and check it. the brake, headlights and signals work off another circuit.
stater or silanoid
Check bulbs & fuses first. If still a problem you will need to start looking at possible wiring issues
Take the ignition control modual out of the distruboter and have it tested at your local parts store. The have a tendency to have that exact problem. They willl not inject fuel on the enital start up.
