Will not crank DEAD but lights come on - Garden

check --clean and test battery and connections --------

don't crank at all ? as in silent starter motor, or just clicks>?
or cranks fast and does not start
what is management light mean.
the IP cluster 100% dead?
radio dead
headlamps dead key off and on.?
heater blower dead? on high.
tell all that works and does not, ok?

top cause battery dead
top; fix (short time) jump starts. using jumper cables or call AAA club auto tow truck , tell the man jump me car.

double posted and tests DONE WRONG
the battery must not be dead is first
and not testing fuse, with KEY on,
1;/2 the fuses are dead KEY off that is 100% Normal.
key on does IP cluster glow lamps as it did just like it did for 13 years?
head lamps bright key on an off both, (it must)
heater blower on high, works loud ,key on,
is the starter motor dead/? called cranking,?????????????

you said new crank , I'm sure you meant a new starter motor>?
is the starter dead? now? if yes post how to test a dead starter.
starters fail in many ways.

• dead
• chatters.
• clicks,
• makes a HUGE nasty loud bang, (engine or it seized)
• or starter spins fast (sounds like sewing machined) but engine cranks shaft never spins (turns ) starter pinon failure.

or starter goes GRRRRRGRRRRRR and crank shaft spins but does not start.(seen and heard)

a dead starter with a good battery (charged) may crank
if you learn to crank it in NEUTRAL. (auto tranny?)
does starter work , JUMPER cable jump started?????
crank in park then try Neutral.
on stick shift cars the clutch switch bad kills cranking.

hello ,
wont crank or cranks fast but wont start.? (2 different answers)
you must tell the helper all things that work or dont work
that is how electrics function, by branches .
1: head lights work high and low beams. ( dim or dead?)
2; heater fan work on high?
3: radio.
4: cluster glows those warning lamps as all do key on (y/n)
5;cranks
6: interior lamps dead, my guess you mean the dome lamps.?
try to be more clear as to which of the many lamps inside are dead.
7: if its a no crank, car, say so, and check for green battery lugs
we clean them , if not corroded ,then we next jump start the car
using jumper cables, per instructions on the box.

is car automatic trans?
if yes and wont crank try cranking in Neutral not park.
step on brake /and key on, and shift to N.
then crank.

what lights, you wean the cluster warning lights are dead.
or the cluster park , illimunation lights are dead.
are parks working (outside)
are head lights bright? outside)
wont start, does that mean it wont CRANK?
that means the starter is silent or is just a click

nobody can answer (correctly) lacking those facts.


1: check all fuses.
2: head lights work if not battery terms are rusty clean them.?
3: key on.
4: CEL lamp must glow, (check engine light) if not fuses blown or battery is dead. for sure.
4: tune key to start, does starter spin crank shaft fast?
ill stop here. my wild guess is you will not get this far.

no power,
you meant , will not crank?
if yes, then does jumper cable cranks work? off running donor car?
clock, all clock is dead, but i bet you forgot to notice, lots of others things are dead. sure.
you key on, and the cluster lights up.
and the head lights work.
and you crank and it does what.>?
nothing/
clicks
or cranks.
or even starts.
in that order.

do you have a voltmeter, any?
if you do, this is childs play, but not, near impossible to see electrons
with eye balls. we can see atoms, but not electrons, probably never.
Dr.Tyson...... quote.
but back to earth, this is easy , the FSM cover this, as does alldata.com
but i bet $15 for the online is over budget?
my guess, is not have any elect. power really means you cant
CRANK the engine over?
or it cranks or will not start.
no car cranks with out a starter, cept my M/T i can push start
it and gravity start mine.
but my guess 2 is yours is A/T tranny.
so must crank.

why not post like this.
i get in car, i turn on head lights, they are dead. (dead battery or fuse blown) no, my head lights work. (this is always test 1)
then i turn the key on, and the dash idiot lamps all glow. (normal)
if not the fuses are blown or the battery is dead.
a good battery reads (any voltmeter even walfart $10 meter)
12.6vdc rested.
ok my dash glows. and more important the EFI CEL lamp
this lamp is called many thing, MIL, SES or check engine light
if it dont glow, then the Fuser to the EFI are in fact blown.
or the lamp is bad.
if in usa, you can plug any OBD2 scan tool into the near knees DLC port and it will connect, key on, if not the fuses are BLOWN.
you push the scan button and get what codes? DTC errors.
report them.
then crank for 5 seconds (im assuming it can) and you get what DTC.

if car will not crank
then jumper start crank it. does it?
yes, then the battery was dead.
if battery dead, charge it , does it crank now?
if battery discharges parked this is called parasitic drain.
if starter is dead , with jumper cables that is bad starter or key line.


we can do this 1 step at a time
but you never posted the symptoms.

1. head lamps dead.
2. dash dead.
3. starter dead (will not crank)
4. all above good , engine will not start.

in that order.

hello Allen. Deville leaks in to my Toyota, forum section, oddly?
but
Engine size not stated.
nor if it cranks robustly
if key is dead, and dash dead, and or head lights dead
check all fuses first in the cab and in the engine bay.
always check fuses first. the battery voltage.
bam 10v bad battery ,dead, or discharged, (i charge it and ./...???)_
battery is good and jumper starts fail.

you turn the key to on, the check engine light glows, (and othere)
that is something
then you move key to crank position (start) i will wiggle the shiftlever.
boom is cranks
no it dont so i try starting in neutral. bam , it cranks. over. bad PRNDL switch.
no it dont, so i hit the starter with a hammer, not crazy just tap tap.
no it dont start.
I hot wire the starter solenoid. it cranks (wont start , key in pockets)
hot wire fails,battery good, starter is toast.
hot wire test passes ,cranks nice.
i then grab my trusty DMM and flip dial to Volts.
i then find why my KEY line is dead.
if you get this far, ask how to fix a dead Key line.,
the starter ST key line,

It could be a near-dead battery. Sometimes they have enough power for lights/etc. but not enough to crank.

My thought is to check and clean anything that has to do with idle air system. How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes?
