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

 

you have dead battery if you hear flickering sound

 

but all my lights stay turn on. wouldn't that mean my battery is good?

 

:shakehead

 

do the lights dim when you crank the car?

 

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!

 

Check your flux capacitor

 

I'll see if a jump start will work.
and yes asap, it's my daily driver and i need to my car by monday latest for school so i'd say i need to fix the problem asap.

 

I'll bet you $10 you need a new battery

 

lol i'd be happy if it's something as simple as a battery

 

It's the fucking battery!

 

you owe everyone who posted in this thread 10 dollars

 

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

 

Mmmm...everything is better with 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
