car wont start :(

[Cartoon]

Hay all,
well last night in the rain my car was running fine.
went to a friends house watched a few movies then left. on the way home i stopeed to get fuel.

when i went to start the car again it would not start at all.
now all the lights ect r working so im guessing the immoblisor is gorne. i can clutch start the car still but it wont even try to trun over.

the reds come on, the fuel pump turns on but thats it not another sound.

thanks ppl

sounds like a dead battery to me. IF not that then starter motor is worn.

Ya if your alarm has a starter kill it will not let that starter crank. If you just disconnect the alarms power you should be able to start her up. I would recommend pulling out the alarm if it is giving you a lot of problems. Also check the starter connections, one might have come loose.

the battery may be fine to power ur lighting but not drawing enough current to power your starter

from what i've heard the starter draws ALOT from the battery

[Slow96GSR]

40-80 amps! The batt. can be at 12V but only have enought amps to power the 10-25 amp lighting.

what exact noise is there when you turn the key ?
a loud CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK ~
or does it "try " to start ( turns over but dosent ignite/start)
or nothing ?

Check the connections to your starter motor - check the gearbox/front support ground wires are firmly connected -

coil or ICM

on your starter motor there is a small spade terminal hidden inside a rubber boot, that is th earth for the unit sometimes they come off. it happened to me a couple of times the exact thing you are describing
