Yes possible.

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.


To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

Sounds like your heat and a/c door actuator motor. Does your heat and a/c switch over from one to the other correctly?

SOURCE: battery symbol came on and stays on.

I'd get a voltage reading from battery when engine off, and with engine running, then let us know. Voltage should increase when engine running, showing charge, ( 13-14 volts.) and not be too low (12-12.5 volts) before. It may be something intermittent, or even a loose or dirty connection at battery or other end of cables, so check condition of cables & make sure they are tight.

Cranks and then goes dead

First check your fuel pressure it should be 41-47 psi with key on and engine off if its below 32 psi replace the fuel pump and filter.If fuel pump checks out to be good then take ignition switch out and check for burned ignition switch wires and worn ignition key tumblers and ignition lock cylinder.These cars are known for faulty ignition switches and ignition lock cylinders.Ignition switch gets to hot then it won't start until it cools off.
