Why is scania not starting,dashboard no display but vehicle cranking
For the dashboard check you fuses. Sometimes it is that easy.
You will need to repair the dashboard lights to find out if there are any warning lights showing. We're there any warning lights before the dashboard lights stopped working?
What exactly does it do when you crank the engine? Just crank? Crank, try then stall?
Have you had it plugged into a diagnostic scanner to check if it's a faulty sensor?
2003 blazer Can't turn key in ignition
Assuming the "security" dash light isn't lit or blinking...1.) Make sure the Blazer is in "P" or "N." See if you can shift through the gear selection, and if so, shift down and back up. You can even try to start it in neutral and see if the key turns.Try turning the key now. If nothing.....2.) Try turning the steering wheel slightly, while pressing the brake and turning the key. See if that allows the key to turn. If not....3.) Check your battery to make sure it's not dead.If the battery checks out okay and you have power (lights etc) inside. Try to remove the key from the ignition? If you can, pull it out and reinsert it after verifying #1 & 2 above. If the key can't be removed, try step#2 several more times. If nothing happens, you can try pulling the negative battery cable off for several minutes and putting it back. That will help reset things IF there's a security issue preventing the key from from turning.If none of this works, there could be a problem with the ignition solenoid that needs to be diagnosed.

Engine not start
Check wiring ok
Fuel pump ok
Injector ok
Ignition coil ok
More information please. What EXACTLY is it doing when you turn the key? This will give clues to where the problem could be.
Are you getting any warning lights on the dash? Do you get nothing at all on the key? Do you get a 'Clunk' or a fast 'rattle' noise? Do you get a lazy crank speed? Does it just wind and not even try to start? Does it wind, try to start but stall out quickly?

Mercedes 2001 C200 Kompressor. External lights will not go out, the light switch is of course in the 'off'position.
Check the Light Switch Position: Ensure that the light switch is indeed in the "off" position. Sometimes, it might appear to be off, but a slight misalignment can keep the lights on. Double-check by toggling the switch a few times.
Faulty Light Switch: Even if the switch seems fine, it could be faulty. Over time, switches can wear out or develop internal issues. Consider having a professional inspect and replace the switch if necessary.
Electrical Issues: There might be an electrical fault causing the lights to stay on. Inspect the wiring and connections related to the external lights. Look for any loose wires, damaged insulation, or corroded connectors.
Stuck Relay or Module: Modern cars use relays and control modules to manage various functions, including external lights. A malfunctioning relay or module could keep the lights on. A mechanic can diagnose and address this issue.
Faulty Light Sensors: Some vehicles have light sensors that automatically turn on the lights when it gets dark. If these sensors are malfunctioning, they might keep the lights on even during the day. Check if your car has such sensors and have them tested.
Battery Voltage Issues: Low battery voltage can cause electrical anomalies. Make sure your car battery is fully charged and in good condition. A weak battery might not provide enough power to fully turn off the lights.
Ignition Switch or Key Cylinder Issues: Faulty ignition switches or key cylinders can sometimes affect the electrical system. If the lights stay on even when the car is off, consider having these components inspected.
Remember that diagnosing electrical issues can be complex, especially without proper tools and expertise. It's advisable to consult a qualified mechanic or an auto electrician to pinpoint the exact cause and resolve the problem. They can perform diagnostic tests.
