With all the lights on it won't start but battery lights fades fast

bad battery or altenator

A dead battery is usually the 1st thing to check. It also might be your starter.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

your starter is bad.

We have no way of guessing to answer the question

If the battery came with the car new in 07 or 08,I would
say the battery is worn out

All you need to do with any vehicle issue ,is test things

If you don't have the knowledge, you should have a repair shop
you have used for decades,not some franchise or chain store

Hi Robin, As the battery is new and presumably not defective, I think you should suspect the soloniod fitted to the starter motor. If that component has become defective it will give the sound you're reporting. Depending on where you live in the world and the labour charges, you can have the contacter's replaced or the starter motor (if labour charges are high) Regards John

When these problems usually occur, your battery is so weak your car won't start. Check your battery, the connections to the battery (anything loose, etc.). Don't forget to disconnect the ground (-) wire first if you decide to removed the battery connections and re-install the ground wire last to prevent risks of shorting the (+) pole of the battery to the chassis if you do it the other way around.

Did the car show any signs of a charging problem (alternator circuit, etc.) ? If not, I would suspect the battery, I've seen it before and yes they can be good, and "die" just like that without showing any signs of fading before failing.

Hope this helps.

check battery out and battery connections real close

check for loose wire behind the alternator when the light are fading our running on the battery only the alternator ir not charging get that check as soon as you can the frestar gonna stall soon thanks pierre
