If u got the car started and lights are still on need to check codes could be alternator issue.

az6 turbo Member 38 Member For: 14y 8m 24d Gender: Male Location: shellharbour Posted 31/07/13 10:39 AM Posted 31/07/13 10:39 AM Are u getting any clicking noise when u press the starter button, if u are its a flat battery. If u can check the voltage when u press the starter button if the volts drop to much it wont start that's your cranking amps on battery.
