If you're not a mechanic, turn your ignition key on but don't start the car, all of your warning lights should come on. If you have ABS you should see a yellow light that says ABS, once you start the car all the light should go out within a few seconds.If you are having problems with your ABS, the yellow light should be on.
Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. If you have no lights inside, you are not getting power. Clean the terminals and the battery post. Take them off and scrub them with a metal brush. Make sure when you put them back that they are tight. Make sure the terminals are not damaged. Check your ignition fuse also. Since you have no power, you have a bad connection or a bad battery. You need to check your alternator also. It may be bad and cause similar issues. Once you have power inside, you have a good connection and it should start.
Best thing to do is if you have a check engine light on is run a scan and see what codes come up..If no check lights on than could be your battery or a coroded battery cable,or both,,doent idle right? Should be a check engine light on,,,,,,Auto Zone parts will run a scan for free and tell whats wrong and read the codes for you.
Help please....I have Mazda Protege 2002...the car was driving good..and suddenly the car didn't start at all i changed the starter the battery is fine because when i start the car the lights comes on and the radio works. I don't know what is the problem is...when i start the car it makes noise of tik tik. Please help me????
if i remember right if the battery light and check engine light is on, your alternators may be bad. your battery may just have enough to keep it running for a minute or so. you can take it out and get it tested at a auto parts store. or try charging your battery for awhile and see if it stays on longer. if this is completely wrong let me know
I had a similar problem when I had my car boosted when I left my lights on. Even though I had turned my lights off the chime alerting me my lights were on would continue to chime even with the lights off AND the car turned off. I was concerned it would drain my battery again, so I took it to Mazda and they just unhooked the power to that chime. It stopped it from beeping all the time, but now I have to remember to turn the lights off.
Note... there are actually 2 chimes that I know of. I was quite surprised one day to hear the chime again - then I realized it was because my keys were in the ignition.
