Check for battery connection, remove positive and negative battery clamps .Clean the clamps and battery posts with water. or you may spray it with contact cleaner. let dry or wipe dry the clamps and post. Apply small amount of grease before installing back the clamps.

Why do all my dash lights come on and stay on when I turn the key on

If the car isn't turning over (starting) it sounds like you have a flat battery. Does it make a click click click sound?

Ignation wont start

If your battery checks out, but the starter is still silent, it may be a faulty ignition switch. Turn the key to the on position (not all the way to start). If the red warning lights on your dash don't light up (and your battery connections are clean), the ignition switch is bad. If they do light up, turn the key to the start position. The dash warning lights should turn off at this key position (most cars). If you're not sure, turn on the headlights. When you try to start the car, the lights should either dim (a lot) or turn off completely. If they do, your ignition switch should be ok. If not, the switch will need replacement.

I go to start my car and it wont start. the dash lights come on then i go to turn the key off and take he keys out and the dash lights stay on. i have to un hook the battery to turn the dash lights off.

You have a relay sticking under the dash. If you do it yourself, go under there and start pulling relays until you find the one that makes the lights go out and that is probably the one that makes it start too.

06 Corolla maint req light

Here is the proceedure:

Turn the key to ON

Observe the odometer, ensure that it says "ODO", and your total mileage travelled, not "trip A" or "trip B"

Turn the key off.

Press & hold the black tripmeter reset button, hold it until advised to release

Thurn the key to the ON position (do NOT start the car)

Observe the odometer.

You should see 5 dashes, then 4 dashes, then 3 dashes, then 2 dashes, then 1 dash, and then 5 zeros; and then whatever mileage you started with will be redisplayed.

Release the trip meter reset button

Your reset proceedure is complete.
