Double ck you batt cable connectios. Turn on your headlights. If lights go out when attempting to cank, You have a poor connection. If they just dim, Your battery is Junk. Turn head lights odd when done. Good Luck

Lock and unlock the doors with the key fob this usually resets the alarm. If the key fob doesnt work there is a procedure for resetting the system. But I can't remember off the top of my head but the owners manual does tell you how

WHY WOULD A CAR NOT START IF THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED? Could it be the alarm?

Here's the game plan,get it cranked and have someone follow you to Autozone,keep it cranked and go into store and tell them you need your battery and alternator tested,has to be cranked to do this and let them know if you turn off it won't start so you won't burn up your gas waiting too long and this service is free.

I let my 2000 ford taurus sit for 5 weeks and now it wont start

If you try to crank it and nothing happens your battery could be dead. See if your lights go on. If not, you probably need either a new battery or a battery jump and charge.

2007 YUKON WILL NOT START, STEERING WHEEL AND GEARS LOCKED, NO LIGHTS WHEN DOOR IS OPENED

Has this vehicle been left to sit for awhile without being started? If so, the battery may be dead and need to be recharged or replaced. But if your engine cranks that is not the case. It might also be that your security system has been activated and locked everything up (but I thing the door lights would work then). If the battery is charged and okay, then suggest you take the battery cables off the battery for a couple of hours and see if the secutiy system will deactivate. Or check your owners manual for resetting the secuity system.

2003 chev suburban.battery went dead.replaced battery,now it wont crank and security light blinks

I have ran into this problem many times. Insert the key, and turn it to run. After 10 minutes the security lamp should go out. Turn the key off, and then back to run and let it sit another 10 minutes until the security lamp goes out again. Now repeat this one more time for another 10 minutes until the lamp goes out again. This should be a total of 30 minutes so make sure your battery is fully charged when you start the procedure. After the third time and the lamp going out you should be able to restart the vehicle.
