Frustrated trying to figure out why my car dont start
So ive been on the computer searching, searching, and searching what is wrong with my car. No luck yet!
Heres my problem this morning i tried turning on my car and as soon as i passed ac, on n then start all the lights went out and i have no power at all. i cant turn on the emergency lights or even lock it with my remote key. So i thought it was the ignition switch. I bought a new one tested it and same thing nada. after manually locking all doors and leaving it for a couple mins lights come back up. I go at it again turn the key and the same thing happens. So its not the ignition switch, or starter it was just replaced about a month ago battery connections are good. I might have an idea it might be the factory alarm or something cause the security light stayed on for a few seconds while i was messing around with the keys and locking and unlocking the doors. I need help!

check the main fuse on the fuse holder in the engine compartment next to the battery. theres one on there that powers everything. that is considering your battery is good w good connection. if you dont have power anywhere at all, it has to be battery or power feed issue.

Havent tried that. Ill try tomorrow.
But i highly doubt its a fuse. Everytime i do the same process close the doors manually wait about a minute the power comes back but as soon as i turn the key all power goes out and im back in the same situation. I did noticed after all the power went out i was inside the car. ill closed the door wait a few seconds the lights on the doors will turn on and stay on even though all doors were completely shut. after that ill lock the doors from the button on the drivers side door and there would be a buzzing sound somewhere in the dashboard.

And since you noted a "buzzing sound" that came from the dashboard, if it was an electrical buzz then that sound usually represents a short somewhere. First check on your battery and connections, make sure it has sufficient charge and connections aren't corroded and are tight. Then try to trace that buzzing sound, sounds to me like something might be shorting and draining the crank amps, then it slowly comes back.
