Car won't turn on; clicking sound

Here's the dealll... I clicked my unlock button on my remote to get it unlocked. instead of that i got an alarm. when pressing the alarm button nothing would happen.. So i probably did what i shouldn't have done and tried to turn the car on. No response from my car. but when i put on accessory, works fine; ON works just fine too so my battery aint dead... but then i try turning it on and the whole dash start ticking everything flashes i hear tic tic tic 5 times every second. so i let it go naturally and i stopped trying to put it on... To me it seems like my car thinks i tried stealing it somehow? Help me out please, i read about the 30 second thing, and also putting the car to ON for 3-5 mins until the lights go off... when i called the dealership they said such security lock-ups dont exist and they recommended me getting a starter (salesman...) problem is i started my car yesterday 8 hours before and NO PROB so im sure its because of that alarm... Anyways please get back to me:)

It does sound like a starter problem but the easiest way to rule that out is by trying to jump start the car with a push , if your starting motor has packed in it will still start with a jump start

SOURCE: Hello, My Hyundai will not

check on the fuse box, am sure that a starter fuse is blown. the alternator might be the causer. as you said you changed it not so long. When you find out the fuse are ok, check also the solnoid wire on the starter motor beside the main wire, when that is good then might be the carbon brushes are won need to be replaced

Testimonial: "Thanks For the help, I will try these things, this was helpful, I check a few wires, and some fuses but not the ones you are refering to!! Thnx Again!"

SOURCE: sometimes my 2008 sonata won't

It sounds like this could be your fuel pump sensor also as mention in the earlier post the click could be the pump relay reseting allowing the pump to come on to deliver fuel to the engine. You may also want to check the ignition relay in the fuse box under the hood, a weak relay can heat up and need time to reset before letting the engine start, at the dealership they may not give it time enough to heat up to cause the problem. When the problem occurs again turn the key and listen for the pump to come on if it does come on, then move to the next solution. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: car alarm disabled starter?

You might have blown a fuse check your fuse box in your car, or disconnect your battery and let it sit for at lease a hour and then try to put the battery back on your car.

Car won't Crank/start

With a voltage meter see how many volts are at the starter terminal. If not 12+ volts you have a bad connection. Check connection at the starter solenoid. Does it have 12+volts? Short the solenoid. Does it put voltage to the starter?

I removed the battery and now the car won't start

'I disconnected the car battery/changed the car battery and now my car won't start'

Another common question on Fixya.
You've done nothing wrong. It's simply that the immobiliser doesn't recognise the key.

Put the key into the ignition. Turn the ignition on. Press the LOCK button twice on your remote. Wait 1 minute.

Turn the ignition off and press the UNLOCK button on the remote a couple of times. This will disarm the immobiliser.

The key should be recognised and your vehicle will start.

There is a beeping sound in the center of the dash board and the car is off

If he has a car remote, it could be that the doors weren't all unlocked or the alarm not completely turned off. You usually have to press the unlock button on the remote 2-3 times or press the unlock button inside the car 2-3 times. Good luck.

All my remotes won't unlock passenger doors, why?

this is a problem that can appear after your car battery died, cause the car didn't reset propely, so taking the battery out and putting it back in or letting your car die again would do the trick. I tried a lot of reprogramming procedured for my remote key, none of them worked, what did the trick though was simply unlocking the doors via the all door unlock button on the passenger side door, so simple.

The doors will not lock or unlock from the door but will from the remote?

The title suggest the door won't unlock unless the remote is used but during the summer it was the inverse. If while inside the car the doors will not lock or unlock from the door but will from the remote then you have a faulty switch.If while outside the car the key turns while in the lock but the door won't lock or unlock then the linkage at the end of the lock is faulty. You'll need to remove the door inside plate to check this.

I changed the key batteries for my 1999 BMW 323i after they died. Afterwards the remote unlock and lock won't work, the car also won't start but it can turn over/on and the radio and the lights...

stick the key in the ignition, turn it to the on position, remove it within 5 seconds, then hold the unlock button down and press the lock button 3 times within 10 seconds and release both buttons. The doors should lock/unlock to give you confirmation and your key should work.

When I use my remote starter & door lock/unlock and the lock/unlock button in the car, it does not lock or unlock both back doors. It does start the car, opens the trunk, and lock & unlock both...

The rear doors probably dont come w accuators in them. Meaning that the rear doors alot of times don't have power options. If you are certain that your rear doors have factory power locks then I would say it's a wire somewhere...did you try a double click of the unlock button. My two door chevy truck unlocks the driver door with one click and the pass door requires a double click. Hope this helps !

2006 BMW 323i Passnger Door lock will not lock / unlock w/ remote

Replace fuse 57 (15 amp) then disconnect battery and wait 30 to 45 minutes before reconnecting the battery.

My 2006 BMW 325I had the same problem with the door locks not responding. I checked all related fuses and found #57 (15 amp) was the only related fuse blown. I put in a new fuse and it still would not work. I then disconnected the battery for a while then once I reconnected the battery everything worked fine.

I believe I blew the fuse while repeatedly pushing the unlock button rapidly while walking across the parking lock to the car. I suggest only pushing the unlock button only once or twice.
