Everything has power when i turn the key to the on position but when i turn the key to start the truck, nothing happens. headlights dont dim or anything and everything still has power. all fuses are good. I have put 2 new starters on it and neither starter fixed the problem. Put a new neutral safety switch and a new ignition switch on it and it still wont crank or move at all. It starts no problem when i push it and kick start it. 1993 isuzu rodeo, V6, 4 wheel drive, 202K miles, standard transmission

Check if you getting power to the single wire on the starter when you turn key to start position.If power is not there then starter is not a problem , I'm not sure if this car has a starter relay , but you may want to check that too.

When you crank the engine are you getting a full 12 volts positive at the solenoid switch on the top of the starter?

Have you got a full 12 volts negative to the switch?

Also, check the earthing strap from chassis to engine is good.

Regards

Lloyd

Turn key lost all power

Clean and tighten battery cable connections and check battery ground, engine ground-should be a ground strap from engine to the body or frame. If this happens and you have nothing, no headlights, nothing-it's almost certainly a problem at or right off the battery.

2001 jgc limited has good battery power turn key to start and dash lights all go out engine wont start headlights dont even dim had the yellow fuse cradle out it had 2 10 amp fuses in it after that this...

A mechanic would check for power at the starter and trace back to the key switch. There is a neutral safety switch to keep you from starting the engine in gear that could have failed.

When i turn the key, to start nothing happens. The headlights work and dont dim when when key is turned to start. Also the key has been hard to turn

Adaa, check your ignition fuse first. It should be labeled. Replace it and try to start it. If it doesn't work, write me back. I will help you through this if you want to.

Engine doesnt respond to key

Welcome to Fixya

You may want to check first if you have a fully charged or good battery. You may honk your horn or test the headlight. If battery is ok then you might need to test the ignition system. Turn on your headlights and try to turn the key to start position. Your headlight should go dim. If nothing happens then the problem is the ignition assembly.

Thank you for using Fixya!

2002 Dodge Intrepid accessory/starter relay problem?

Accessory position is turning key towards he driver. Ignition on is away 1 and start is away2.
  • Turn on your headlights, do they work? If not, chk batt terminals
  • If they do, try to crank the engine noting what the headlights do. If they go out, Chk the batt ground cable. If they dim, your batt needs a charge. If they dim and then come back bright when you back off the starter, the starter is bad.
  • Chk for loose engine to body ground. That would affect the accessories. Good Luck, _Ned_

My 99 Expedition just died while driving. After towing it home it now wont even turn over. I can jump the starter and it engages and I have power to dome light and headlights but when I turn key nothing (...

I has an 86 Mustang that did a similar thing and it turned out that the battery actually shorted out. This happens when one of the plates inside the battery brakes off and then touches another plate. When mine died it was like I turned the iginition off. It wouldn't turn over even with jumper cables.

Chevy tahoe won't turnover, power to everything, no clicking in starter to indicate that it is the starter, nothing happens when you turn the key? any sugg My problem is similar. My 2003 4wd will start...

Next time it won't start turn headlights on and see if they dim when you turn key to start, if they dim its most likely starter, if they don't dim possible starter switch, Have you tried to start it in neutral position? Try that, if it starts in neutral than its park neutral switch, if not could be starter switch, Just make sure you chk. all fuses and any relays associated with ignition first.
