Car won't start totally dead no radio, lights

Went to start my car and its dead. No power locks, no lights, no radio...nothing. It hasn't been driven in like a week. Could it be battery? Can I try jumping it? My friend said I couldn't try because it was too dead? Could it be fuse that I've seen mentioned? please help.

Charge it, or hook up jumper cables, wait a few minutes before you actually try to start it. Make the ground to the running engine the last connection you make.

SOURCE: car alarm preventing car from starting

1999 CONCORDE: check the battery terminals probably they are not tight enough...something like that happened to me just the lights turned on and the car seemed to be dead, the battery is still ok since then. I just needed to buy new terminals.

SOURCE: started with fog lights on cars off.got a jump cause the battery was dead. just makes clicking sound from starter.

seems your battery has already been discharged by the fog lamp! recharge or buy a new one, but you should fix first the fog lamp before hooking your battery! check for stuck -up relay!

SOURCE: Starter is dead.

Hi,
It does sound like a starter shorted out on you. You can remove the starter and have it checked... I think Autozone will do it for free. Plus if you needed a new starter, they'd want a core exchange anyway and you'd already have it in hand. Don't forget to disconnect your batery before you begin this operation!
Hope this helped... Good luck!

Testimonial: "The subtle comment about disconnecting the battery was a helpful reminder. Also, I was unaware that Autozone did this for free. Thanks!"

SOURCE: power lock cd/radio keyless entry not working

There aren't any fuses or relays for your problem, it must be taken to the dealer or other shop that has the special tool to do it to be reprogrammed. It's not a tool you want to purchase for casual use, it's called a "DRB III" and costs around $8,000. I have the directions to do it if you would still like them let me know.

1991 Miata Help! Won't start, nothing at all on key turn, STILL after battery replacement. Help!

The main fuse blew. Look in your fuse box for a big fuse it should be labeled main or master fuse. Replace this fuse and vehicle should work everything but maybe the starting issues. You have a short somewhere. If the fuse blows again or the car won't start repost the problem

91 cadillac devile won't start. dash, radio & powers work

These early 90's vehicles had alot of problems with the antitheft systems. When they fail, they actually cut power to the starter or injectors. Look for a light on the dash that says SECURITY or ANTITHEFT. You see this light, go to this link for answers.

I tried to start my car this morning. There was no electricity at all and i mean at all, The power locks won't even work nothing. The car won't start, it's perfectly silent when you turn

You would need to use a meter or test light to find out what exactly is dead. It could be a short in the fuse box, or a bad connection in the harness, or at the battery or starter.
You may need a repair book or shop manual to get the wiring diagrams.
If nothing on the truck works, you would start at the battery cables and work back to the key switch.

My asb light comes on when starting and stays on. Lights won't come on , power locks won't work, power windows won't work, radio won't work. All fuses are good and car runs fine.

Those are all really common symptoms of the alternator going bad on those cars. I would have it checked to make sure it's charging properly.

1994 Plymouth Acclaim 2.5, 4 cyl won't start

on the backside of the alternator there should be a large black/grey wire. check to see if there is battery voltage on that wire. If there is not than you have a blown fusible link that is inbetween that wire and the battery. If there is power there than check for power on the dark green with dark blue wire. There should be power anytime the engine is running. If there is no power than there is a problem with that wire in between the alternator and the ASD relay.

Check those two out and let me know what you find.
