I just tried starting my car but it would not even try to start. It was like I was not even turning the key to the starting position. All of the lights came on when I tured the key. Headlights, battery light, seatbelt and all those other lights. THe car was not making any starting noise at all. I started to push it out of the way but when I moved it by pushing it it started.
Could this be the altinator(sp)?

I got no ses light

 

are you battery terminals connected properly? mine did the same thing and the negative terminal was just a bit loose..problem fixed

 

I will check that, it just came from the dealership and they had the battery disconnected.

 

maybe your starter.... my old car did exacly da same thing when her starter is gone...

 

Make sure the tranny is in park.

 

U can't push start a automatic, he was saying its a auto. I would look at the obvious things like battery wires connected 1st. Then I like to give the starter a test. I get someone to try to start it, while I beat on the starter with the tire wrench from the trunk. This almost always works on the Max to get the engine started. Its a common problem for cars with over 100K miles - alternator or starters go out.

 

Like yours? Are you ever going to fix that?

 

Mine too, not my Max but i my '99 trooper. The dome lights, and headlights were fine but it didnt do anything when i turned the key. The shop said that it was the starter.

 

I had this problem with my car two weeks ago.It was the alternator and the battery was bad also.Kinda surprised me because I would never expect the alternator to go out at only 41k.

 

Your lights would turn on with a bad batter and alternator?

 

I took it the dealer a couple months ago because the alternator was making a nosie. THey said it was going to mess up but they can't do anything till it does. But how come after I pushed it, then put it back in park it starts? Drove it today with no problems also.
