Capeters17 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 The battery is clean and charged, I've tried the park safety switch and the neutral safety switch. What else could cause it to not start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesA Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Does the engine turn over when trying to start it, or just nothing happens? Do you hear any noises when trying to start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesA Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Will the car start in Neutral? Do you have an aftermarket car alarm/immobilizer or remote starter installed? If you have a multi-meter you can test to see if voltage is going to the starter motor when the key is cranked. If so, could be a bad starter motor or solenoid. Could remove and test on a bench. Otherwise, possibly the ignition switch could be faulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capeters17 Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 It won't start in neutral either. And there are no aftermarket alarms or anything. Alright I'll test the starter, thank you. Do you know of any other sensors or switches etc that would keep it from starting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesA Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 If you test the starter that should be fairly quick and you can either rule that out or know it needs to be replaced. The most common cause seems to be the park-neutral inhibitor switch. That detects the position of the shift lever and prevents the car from being started unless in Park or Neutral. The ignition switch can sometime cause a similar problem on older cars. Issues with other sensors usually give different symptoms. The engine will turn over when the starter is engaged but won't run.

Capeters17 Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'll try the neutral park inhibitor. That's not the one that's right beside the shifter right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
