My car wont start. It makes no noise when trying to start it and the radio does not come on either as it usually does even when the car isnt all the way on. the head lights work when i turn them on the lights inside my car work. i tried jumping the car but that did nothing to it. what could be wrong?

If it is not turning over then it is more than likly going to be your starter motor your stereo may not be coming on because the faulty starter may be drawing too much power

SOURCE: Clicking Noise when trying to start vehicle

check your key remote if it is not programmed the alarm will go into the kill switch mode and will not allow you to start your engine Having the same trouble with one of my keys I haven't found a way to reprogram it without calling dealer and paying a chunk.

there is a 20 amp fuse under the hood that blew on my 96 stratus that caused the same problem. check that out, maybe the same thing. good luck.

SOURCE: I have a 2004 Dodge SX 2.0 and it wont turn

it sounds like your lock rod cylinder in your sterring colum is broken. That can be expensive to fix! $500 or so. There is an alternitive though. Go to a alarm and window tint shop. Have the install remoteless key start up on you car. Car will start up fine. All your doing is bypassing the ignition swith and sending a signal to your starter directly. It will work beleive me. To check if this is your problem run a cable or wire from the starter to your batter from under the hood, if the car starts(make sure the keys are in the on postion) its your lock rod cylinder! If it doesnt its a bad starter or ignition switch...most likely ignition switch.

2003 yukon rear wiper motor wont work makes loud noise and no movement even after i changed the motor is this a switch problem

If it makes noise when you turn it on, the switch is working. So whats making the noise. If you replaced the motor, there isnt much else. Is the wiper arm tight on the shaft?

Only makes a clicking noise and wont start

First, remove the battery terminals and clean them. Check that the ground wire on the block is tight and clean and the wire at the starter is also good. If you have 12v at the main starter cable and12v at the smaller (trigger) wire next to it with the key turned to the "start" position, it's likely the starter is bad (providing you can turn the engine by hand with key switch off) Make sure that the battery has 12v before starting diagnosis...radio etc. draw far less than the starter does. Even if relatively new, if the charging system isn't working, it will draw down the battery in less than an hour while driving..
