1992 Chevy Lumina APV wont start lights radio etc does what is wrong?
Your battery is dead and you should probably take it to the repair shop and have them put it in for you. Couldn't it be the starter motor? The lights and radio come on, so there must be some juice and the battery.
Why wont 98 nissan maxima start but brand new starter and lights and radio come on?
The problem may not be in the starter, but rather the alternator or battery. Your lights and radio may work because it does not require as much power. I asked the question and I have narrowed it done to one of the two possibilities: it is either the ignition switch or the anti theft start fuse under the hood. But thanks for the insight.

Why would the gauge lights and radio lights go out when the automatic headlights come on in a 2000 Buick Regal LS?
the dash and radio lights are supposed to dim when the headlights come on. Make sure you have the brightness of the dash lights turned up as much as possible.
Your radio and lights come on but your car won't start its a 1991 dodge Dynasty why?
If you are saying that you have reason to believe that the battery is charged, yet the starter won't crank the engine, it could be: starter, Neutral/park lockout switch, Bad electrical connection or Keyswitch.
Your 94 Ford escort lx 1.9l wont start but all the lights on dash and radio come on is your starter out or if not what could be wrong?
Actually, if the battery is bad it will click or turn over very slowly. If all the electronics work and there is no noise, it is the starter. Take a small hammer and tap very lightly on the starter (sometimes there is a label on the starter, aim there). This is only tempary and you will eventually need to replace the unit. i had this same problem with my ford fiesta the lights and radio still worked but it did not make another sound. it just needs a new battery. hope this is helpfull

check the fuse on the wires on your radio, there is a separate wire for the display lights that should be wired to your dash lights
How can i tell if it's the battery or starter in my 2000 durango?
If you don't have a volt meter, turn on the headlights and radio, if the lights are bright and the radio works then there should be enough power to try and run the starter. With the lights and radio on turn the key,if everything stops,lights dim and raido stops working its the battery. If the lights stay fairly bright and radio works you should hear a clicking from the starter, if there is no clicking or you engine does not try and turn over it is the starter. If you have a volt meter,you can just check the voltage of the batt, it should be over 12.3. You can also jump the car with another car using jumper cables, leave it connected for a few minutes and have someone in the good car bring the engine above idle so it throws a charge. If the bad car does not turn over its the starter.
