You hear nothing, or almost

nothing. The engine’s starter

motor does not operate at all, or

operates very slowly.

You can hear the starter motor

operating normally, or the starter

motor sounds like it is spinning

faster than normal, but the engine

does not start up and run.

When you turn the ignition switch to

the START (III) position, you do not

hear the normal noise of the engine

trying to start. You may hear a

clicking sound, a series of clicks, or

nothing at all.

Turn the ignition switch to the

START (III) position. If the

headlights do not dim, check the

condition of the fuses. If the fuses

areOK,thereisprobably

something wrong with the

electrical circuit for the ignition

switch or starter motor. You will

need a qualified technician to

determine the problem. See

on page .

Diagnosing why the engine won’t

start falls into two areas, depending

on what you hear when you turn the

ignition switch to the START (III)

position:

Check these things:

Turn the ignition switch to the ON

(II) position. Turn on the

headlights, and check their

brightness. If the headlights are

very dim or do not come on at all,

the battery is discharged. See

on page .

Check the transmission interlock.

The transmission must be in Park

or neutral or the starter will not

operate.

Make sure the remote is with you,

inside the vehicle.

If the headlights dim noticeably or

go out when you try to start the

engine, either the battery is

discharged or the connections are

corroded. Check the condition of the

battery and terminal connections

(see page ). You can then try

jump starting the vehicle from a

booster battery (see page ).
