Car will not start?

[TuneAccordingly]

When I turn the key nothing happens at all??? I just change the ignition switch and still nothing. I need help asap lol

[accordztech]

no lights on dash?

TUrn on headlights, do they work?

Loosen and then remove and then reconnect the battery cables.

The battery works fine but I did a little research and I think it may be the bad wire on the starter

take a long screw driver and touch it to the solenoid terminal (the one coming from the ignition switch) and the power wire. If it turns over, the starter is fine.

how do you know the battery is fine?

[TuneAccordingly]

Everything else works fine i.e. the radio, lights etc. Besides its only a couple months old

[accordztech]

take a volt meter or a test light and probe the smaller wire on the starter while someone else cranks it.

Do you see voltage?

what if you keep starting it, like repeatably turn the key to start...start...start..start do you hear a click at the starter solinoid?

Never assume anything is good until you tested it.

Could he have a bad main relay? Considering he said the other electrical works, and you all suggested testing the starter, I am suggesting he look at the main relay AND the under the hood red 10 amp fuse in the ECU slot. I hope the totally non-mechanic that I am is right.

Nope. Main relay only controls fuel pump, and not the starter.

[SilverShadow]

Yes I know that it controls the fuel pump. Ok I re-read his post and he said.."nothing" So not even a crank. Then yeah..not the relay. If cranking, it might be. My coupe was just doing that:cranking and not starting. I'm almost deft, so hearing the pump was not working for me. I replaced the relay and turned the key to hear the dragon roar.

[wed3k]

key on and engine cranking, is there voltage at the small wire on the starter? should be battery voltage.

[DKRM]

Looks like someones got a little wire gremlin. F***ing hate those guys. Good luck though Hope you figure it out

[TuneAccordingly]

Yea sorry I took so long guys but I tried it again a few days ago and now the battery/engine check/srs/etc lights don't come as well as my radio??? I thought it was the the starter cable also but now this???

[accordztech]

did you try anything we said? Tackle the main issue first, getting the car to start.
