My car will not start for some reason. when i turn the key to start the car, it makes this flickering noise and does not start. any ideas why this is happening?
I was facing electrical issues, all my exterior lights would not turn off, could that be one of the reasons why this is happening?

need the car for monday so help will be much appreciated

my dash dims but all my other lights don't

Check your voltage at the battery. You should have 12.5 to 12.75 volts. Lights will often work but the battery is still too dead to spin the starter/engine.....
And really, "ASAP"????? That sure gets thrown around easily these days!

At least a $10 visa card so we can buy some waffles, butter, syrup and bacon.

our 08 TL had battery failure at 1 year. The replacement has been fine for two years now and I hope we get normal life out of it.

Our '97 Dodge Grand Caravan ES had annual battery failure. Replaced the battery the last time by buying the TL!

sounds like you like to leave crap on (or listen to the radio without the car on), and drain those batteries down
