Picasso 2005 axsara doesn't want to start and when I switch a key it makes funny noise instead of starting. And odometer doesn't show any indication its blank? What could be a problem?

You need to elaborate what "funny noise" your car is giving you. Does it try to tell you something ?
When does the "funny noise" appear? When you twist the starting key? If so, I guess it is the starter motor. The relay does not actuate and connect the gears on the starter motor to the gears on the flywheel.
If your battery is empty, you will hear just a short "knocking" from the relay on the starter motor.

Automatic 2008 Rav4 Knocking noise when braking

The noise will be in the brake disc rotors and could be the inside face cracked . Have a brake specialist shop do the check as the knocking noise under brakes will have nothing to do with a transmission.

Knocking noise only when its a rolling got new tires and front end alinement and the noise is still there.Turn the wheel and hear it good change out bottom ball joints knock still there

Sounds a lot like a pitted wheel bearing. Try jacking up the front of the truck and rotating the wheels by hand while listening closely. Some noise is normal but anything rhythmic points to a bad wheel bearing.

I replaced the 2.73 gears with 3.42's and it makes a whining sound, and a knocking noise. I've checked the backlash and tried putting shims in, but it still makes the sounds.

why not go to the local salvage yard and buy a whole rearend with same gears as original or new gears but remember to change the drive gear on the end of the speedo cable or you will have the wrong speed

I have a knocking sound in the backend of my 2004 Endeavor.

There are multiple bushings in the rear spindles. I just had to change both driver and pass side rear lower control arm bushings in the girlfriends. They are a mitsu only part and go for about 50 each.

Loud knocking sound from front drive axle side

I really doubt that its the spider gears that are bad. Most likely that its the axle shaft- not as bad as it sounds- I sell lots of them.

Audible knocking in rear of 1993 jeep grand cherokee laredo with 150,800 miles knocking only occurs when accelerator is not pressed

Sounds as If You Have A Chipped Tooth On the "RING GEAR" in the Differential (Rear Alex).
Is this Where You Hear The Noise Coming from? If So Remove Diff Cover With One Wheel OFF The Ground Trans In Neutral Rotate Drive Shaft and Look Closely For ANY Abnormal Surface on EACH Tooth of RING GEAR= the Large one And The "PINION GEAR" the Small one. If you find Chip or Rough spot Diff Must Be Rebuilt. Beyond that A Pinion Bearing can Also Make A Knocking Noise But the "GEARS" Will Be a Rhythmic Noise. I Hope this is of Some Help To You Good Luck !!
