Car will not start it ran perfectly yesterday?

Umm you are welcome? Just an FYI, usually when a battery gets that weak over night, it is a light or something that was left on. Sometimes there is an electrical short that is drawing on the battery. Anyway, you got it fixed yourself. Nice work.

I would think a blown fuse for the chime could cause that, but I do not see a fuse for that chime on ProDemand or ALLData. I would suggest checking the fuses. By chance have you noticed anything else that is not working? Also, some cars have an on-board computer that will allow you to change certain settings (like the chime sound). If your car has one, it is possible that you just turned it off by mistake. There might be some more useful information on that in your owner's manual.

Hopefully those ideas help. Let us know what you find.

Your local autozone is not going to have a Tech 2, it is a dealer item unless someone has purchased there own. I would try disconnecting the battery cables and shorting them together to clear all memory.

Definitely scanning for codes would be the way to go to make sure the proper part is replaced. I can say from experience that the hood latch has an ajar switch built into it that fails quite often. In some cases though I have seen some corroded wiring nearby to the latch.

Sometimes if the wheels are sharply turned and the steering wheel is locked, you can try turning the steering wheel just a little in the opposite direction and the key will turn. However, the tow-truck driver should have known and tried this. So it's probably a defective ignition key cylinder.

Hi my engine doesn't not start, do you know what wrong?

All "crank, no start" conditions are approached in the same way. Every engine requires certain functions to be able to run. Some of these functions rely on specific components to work and some components are part of more than one function so it is important to see the whole picture to be able to conclude anything about what may have failed. Also, these functions can ONLY be tested during the failure. Any other time and they will simply test good because the problem isn't present at the moment.
If you approach this in any other way, you are merely guessing and that only serves to replace unnecessary parts and wastes money.

Every engine requires spark, fuel and compression to run. That's what we have to look for.

These are the basics that need to be tested and will give us the info required to isolate a cause.

1) Test for spark at the plug end of the wire using a spark tester. If none found, check for power supply on the + terminal of the coil with the key on.

2) Test for injector pulse using a small bulb called a noid light. If none found, check for power supply at one side of the injector with the key on.

3) Use a fuel pressure gauge to test for correct fuel pressure, also noticing if the pressure holds when key is shut off.

4) If all of these things check good, then you would need to do a complete compression test.

Once you have determined which of these functions has dropped out,
you will know which system is having the problem.

Fantastic, thanks WRENCHTECH great answer.

Pretty well known ISSUE. Most likely lock cylinder. Dealer may replace for no charge.

Nothing EASY.

Hi there,

It would be good to have this code as it may be a clue as to your problem, when you say it wont start, is it cranking over and not firing or is there no crank?

Just to add to this one a worn down key can cause your issue if its worn down try having a key cut from the vin number. If you have the key copied you will end up with a another worn out key. Also to find a cylinder if you dont want to get one from the dealer try www. Parts. Com
