Could be a lot of things but try pushing the shifter back and forth kinda hard and turn the switch on and off a couple of times..they have a safety start switch built in so the car will not start unless the shifter and switch are engaged and in park..have a 2003 and had it happen a couple of times...other then that the power at the starter itself will tell you if the selonoid is bad..if power us getting there when the switch is in tne start position then it is bad..if not you need to look at your fuses and relays..refer to your manual or fuse box for location..good luck..

Might be the starter went out and needs to be replaced. Make sure the battery is fully charged, then you can use a test light on the small post on the starter solenoid, when someone else turns the key to the crank position, if you get 12v there and the starter does not operate it is a safe bet that the starter is your problem.

Some aftermark alarm there? Are you check if your model have Anti-Theft or Passlock system? If you recently disconnected the battery or lost voltage, its possible that this is armed.

My car wont start but has Power

DOES YOUR CAR CRANKS OR IS COMPLETELY DEAD ONLY LIGHTS? IF IT CRANKS AND DOESN'T ENGINE RUN THEN IT IS EITHER THE ALARM ( IMMOBILIZER )SYSTEM ACTIVATED,OR THE IGNITION KEY FAILURE. IF YOU HAVE A SPARE IGNITION KEY TRY AGAIN ( THE KEY TO BE THE ONE WITH CHIP INSIDE ).IF IT IS COMPLETELY DEAD THEN YOU NEED THE ASSISTANCE OF A QUALIFIED PERSON TO DIS ACTIVATE THE ALARM AND CHECK ALSO YOUR SMART KEY AS WELL .

2005 pt cruiser won't start won't crank, everything works

When you turn the key on the ASD relay should turn on the fuel pump and power the injector, Do this lets cheat the system go to the ASD rely open the cover expose the inside have some one turn the key on does the ASD make contact? If not turn the key on collpase the ASD so it make contact do you hear the fuel pump come on? Now try this just as how you iopen the ASD do the same to the starter relay. Put the car in gear e brake on someone in the vehicle in case the car start and you are in front of it and it runs you over so at least they step on the brakes. Key on ASD exposed as your collapse the starter relay does the ASD relay turn on? Here why if you can control all the relay from under the hood you will need a ignition switch (the eletrical part)

I have been having issues starting my 2005 PT cruiser. the lights and gauges work but wont turn over. I replaced the battery about a year ago.

I would still have battery tested just to be safe,also check starter,and wires on starter,(the small ones),also check starter relay if equiped.
hope you find it !

Pt wont start or turn over

try to get a jump from a friend and see what happens, does the same, faulty starter, may need replacing, try to use small hammer and tap lightly on the starter couple time and have a friend start the car while you tap lightly on it. check ignition switch where you stick the key in. stick the key in the ignition and turn the key back and forth jiggle and wiggle it and see if your igniting will make contact. do it several time to test and see if its the ignition problems, this part is not cheap to replace.
