The igntion switch comes apart in these trucks and u loose power to everything, this is not the key cylinder buy the actual electrical switch, the switch is located down near the bottom of the steering column tube on the top, it is operated via a rod from the ignition key cylinder, it is very cheap, about $12

Club car won't start turns over slow battery is full charged?

battery could be fully charged but it depends on the amps from the battery. try jump starting using another vehicle or a jump starter, if you try these and it runs faster and starts change the battery also make sure the battery is the compatible battery for your vehicle some time the wrong battery is fitted to the vehicle, check these out before checking anything else

Van has no power even when jumped

Jumping a Vehicle is somewhat unsafe & not necessary
You find the problems & resolve them

Look at scan tool data,then consider a cylinder contribution
check and move on to a cylinder leak down test, for bad valves
& cylinder sealing

Continue on to fuel pressure,timing belt or chain issue & more

The first check is the state of the battery,if your jumping it ,it may be
time for a new one,the vehicle won't run on low module voltage

Rereading your question-- I don't even know what your saying

No power means what,the starter won't turn the motor,the motor
won't start & run, or you have no power to anything.

Can't help any more,you need the veh in a shop

RECENTLY HAD MY CAR JUMPED BECAUSE I LEFT THE HEADLIGHTS ON. NOW MY RADIO ISN'T WORKING. DID I FRY THE RADIO AND COULD A REPLACEMENT RADIO FIX THIS OR COULD THIS ALSO BE AFFECTED BY THE WIRING?

When jumping, or anything else electrical on a vehicle, always connect negative LAST. You could have fried the fuse or the radio. Check fuse first. On newer vehicles jumping is dangerous and can cause system failure.

Polarity was reversed when jump starting vehicle installed new battery & no power to anything mechanic said fuse got blown.What fuse,where it is located & cost of it.

Hard to say without make, year, and model-but check all fuses in the power distribution box under the hood- ignition, alternator fuse, etc.-all of them, the small ones and the maxi-fuses. All fuses are pretty cheap. If you still have nothing, you may need a wiring diagram to check for fusible links that would be power distributors right off or near the battery. Fusible links work much like a fuse, and most have been replaced by maxi-fuses, but many vehicles have both. If there is a designated main fuse, it should be in the distribution block or box under the hood.

Car has no electrical power. Battery can not be jumped

If your car has no power at all there are a few things that come to mind. First it may be your battery. If a battery is bad enough it will not take any kind of charge therefore trying to jump it will do you no good. The only solution for that is to change the battery. The second thing it could be is your cars ignition switch. If the ignition switch is bad it will not allow power to anything else in the car because all electrical power must go through the ignition switch before it goes anywhere else in the car. That is why if you have a bad switch you can not get power anywhere else. The third thing that it could be is your vehicles ECM. The ECM is your vehicles on board computer and if that is bad it can and will also cause this kind of problem. I hope this helps you out.

When I turn the key the relay starts to click.

Ford loves that relay.. Jump the two big posts on the relay. the starter should crank. the little post is from your ignition switch. Jumping the two large terminal bypasses the relay. Make sure the vehicle is in neutral with the brake set.Once you know how to do that, try to key dtart in park, then neutral. If it won't do anything, Your neutral safety switch is defective.
If it will start in any gears, again bad neutral switch. Be careful and good luck. Use a jumper cable to jump the two posts. Anything smaller can get you shock or burned.

No Power at all Chevy HHR

you don't need to open the rear hatch to jump the vehicle. open the hood and you will see a red cap that is meant for jumping the vehicle. there is a spot labeled ground as well, if there is no spot labeled ground, find a suitable bare metal spot to hook the ground up to. that should give the car enough power to get the key out and open the hatch. it may not be good enough to start the car but from that point you can get into the trunk and either jump it at the battery or replace the battery.

if jumping the vehicle doesn't work you can also try to look for blown fuses under the hood on the drivers side or in the passenger compartment in the middle console under the panel on the passenger side. the panel is held in by 4 clips and the fuse block is under the panel

Keyless remote wont work, vehicle completely shut down

Hi Russell,

Absolutely no power? No dome light? No head lights? Nothing?
When you step on the brake pedal, no brake lights?

If true, start at the source and pop the hood.

This is going to be a bit of back and forth dialogue. I'll ask some questions and you get me the answers. That way we can get to the root of the problem. To save time, I'll ask multiple questions at a time. Here goes.

  • Check the battery. Is it still there? (Valid question with no evidence of power)
  • Are the terminal clamps tight?
  • Are the terminals clean and free of corrosion?
  • Are all the belts in place and tight? (pay special attention to alternator)
  • If you have a voltmeter. test the voltage at the battery terminals. It should be +12.5VDC.
Try getting a jump, when the cables are attached does anything light up?
Does it turn over and start?
Does it do anything?

Comment me back with your findings
Mike
