Battery is junk, buy a new one.

  • Anonymous May 24, 2009

    A bad battery can **** up all the juice. You could try disconnecting the battery and putting a charger on it for 24 hours, it might come back. If it does then you need to figure out why it went dead. There maybe something wrong with your belt and/ or alternator.

2003 Buick Regal won't crank or do ANYTHING, only Service Engine Soon light comes on

I'm currently dealing with the same thing. I have come up with the Passkey system being faulty and possibly overriding it with a bypass kit. I'm still searching for more info but thought I would shoot that at you for some insight.

Hooked up jumper cables backwards .fried main fuse replaced it everything comes on but when i turn ignition switch nothing happens no power drain no clicking starter does not turn over what other comp

The short answer is no. The PCM would not control the starter.
I would look for more fuses or fuseable link wires. There should be more than one major fused circuit.
If the key switch was on when you connected the jumper cables anything that was "on" would have been cooked, including the ignition switch.
is the battery good enough to crank the engine ?

Nothing from engine and electricals when key is turned over

Start by checking your main ground wire. and also check your main fuse, i believe it is 60amp. GL

Take off jumper cables it dies

You're alternator is dead. Once started the alternator should generate enough power by itself to keep the engine running.

Try to start it and nothing happens it wont turn over

Check all your fuses..It maybe just your fuse for the ignition...which in fact turns your starter over.... And yes your starter is good, if it tries to crank when you jump it..Now if your fuses are good, then yea your problem mat be the ignition switch itself....But check all your fuses first...Goodluck...

Hello, I take it you twist the key to start and nothing? I repaired my Postmans Vw with the same problem. Firstly it is common and the dealer way of solving is to replace the whole ignition barrel. However I went to Maplins bought a 10 amp push to make flush fitting switch and grafted it into the wire from the ignition switch that goes to the one You use to hot wire the starter you can fuse it too to be safe. Now he has a Vw that looks like the New Bmw Mini for push button starting.
There You Go! Problem solved.
