SOURCE: car won't crank

although your ignition switch would have power go to the accessories, it still could not turn over. it happened to me, after a week of trouble shooting i went and found a starter button and spliced it into the ignition wires to see if that was the problem, lo and behold i turned the key on to run and pressed the button. and she fired right up.. if you know anyone with mechanical skill. its pretty simple to set up. took me 10 min to do.

good luck

SOURCE: 1998 bmw 740il will not start even with new a battery

If you checked all the fuses try putting the car in neutral sometimes the shifter gets misadjusted and wont start till the car is completely in park.If not check for a lose wire to the starter.If the car has an after market alarm you will have to turn it off before starting there should be a little buuton under the drivers dash or kick panel.GOOD LUCK

SOURCE: car will not crank over

Check the fuse box and make sure no fuses are blown. I had the same problem with my honda motorbike and thought the worst of it but then checked the fuses and found that one had blown. Once replaced the bike was fine!

Hope this helps you in someway! Good luck!

SOURCE: fuse box diagram for a 2004 BMW 325ci

Fuses & RelaysThe fuse box is located under the engine hood on the left side, near the upper strut housing or near the battery.
Various relays are also mounted on the fuse box for easy accessibility.



Flashers
The flashers are located behind the bottom center of the lower instrument trim panel.

I have a 99 chevy malibu ls. It started just fine until one day I came out to find it would not crank over. Just got the dash lights. Thought it was the battery so I put my jump pack on it and it started...

That would indicate a dead battery. Get it load tested for free at your local auto parts dealer. Also make sure connections are tight. It would be the alternator if battery load test is good.

Engine wont turn over even though all dash lights work when key on.

This is the classic symptom of a bad battery. Your engine requires a lot of power to crank but the little lights in your dash require very little. if the battery is even a little drained it won't crank the engine, but everything else will seem to work fine. Either jumpstart the car (if it starts, then you likely need a new battery) or test the voltage at the battery terminal when trying to start the car. If the voltage drops below 12 volts you need a new battery (or at least a freshly charged one)

Pt wont start or turn over

try to get a jump from a friend and see what happens, does the same, faulty starter, may need replacing, try to use small hammer and tap lightly on the starter couple time and have a friend start the car while you tap lightly on it. check ignition switch where you stick the key in. stick the key in the ignition and turn the key back and forth jiggle and wiggle it and see if your igniting will make contact. do it several time to test and see if its the ignition problems, this part is not cheap to replace.

The lights will come on an the battery is indicating a full charge but my 2004 535i BMW will not start. It will not make any sounds when I turn the key to the start position. The other day it was slow...

Have the battery load tested. it dosen't take much power to operate lights and under load, the battery may have enough volts but not enough amps to turn the starter. If battery checks good with load test, check the starter for excessive draw and check all connections at battery, starter and block ground.

Car wont turn over to start but light on dash light up. not the battery all wires from starter motor ok.

You say it is not the battery, so I will assume that it is either new or you had it load tested. When you say the light on the dash light up do you mean all the dash lights, radio, and head light works? If there is no cranking it is most likely the starter is bad.
