    Hey boys and girls,

    My car will not start. When the ignition is switched to "on", the dash lights "charge" stay on. When i try and start the car, nothing happens (not even cranking over) but my dash light "brake" comes on every time i turn the key.

    Interestingly, my head-unit also turns off and then back on whenever i try and start

    I have been charging my battery, and it seems fine, but its so old it could easily be dead. I will be replacing it today as a precaution ....

    Any ideas people?

    starter solenoid (spelling) stuck/sticky perhaps.... try giving the bellhousing where the starter is a few solid wacks with something solid... may take a coupe of times...

    could be something else though.... as this only usually happens when your car hasnt been driven for a while..

    this should be in the tech section as well man..

    ahahaha <3 gilly you are a clown

    to be perfectly honest .. i went to canada for a month, and left the parkers on the whole time. i would say that the battery is completely fux0red no matter how much it is "charged"

    i will try the starter motor wacking though thanks DRFT86
