If the fuse blew, it may have been a symptom of a larger problem with your electrical system. I'd suggest testing your spark plugs, distributor and alternator, as well as jumping your battery. If it's not cranking at all, one of those should be the problem. A voltage multimeter is the tool to use; Walmart and AutoZone have them for $10-20.

A little dificult solving this without actually being there..but you may want to check for trouble codes first. Also check the junction box in the engine compartment for corrosion. Remove it from its mounting and flip over so you can see under neath. Check for any corrosion in there.

SOURCE: 2000 chevy cavalier wont turn over, lights and radio work

The starter motor on a car takes a lot of energy, you may be able to use the radio but not have enough power for the starter. You also might not be able to start it because the motor's starter or it's relay is bad. So here's what to do:

Check the connections on the battery, try loosening the connections and moving them around a bit, then tighten them down good.

Next go try to start it up again. If it still doesn't respond, turn your headlights on and see if they are still bright. If they are, then I would look into the starter or the starter relay.

The relay is in a box somewhere under your hood, possibly with some motor related fuses. Take the cover off and look at the under side of it. The cover should have a sticker displaying which relays do what. Now look for the air conditioner relay. Check to see if the air conditioner and starter relays have the same number printed or stamped on them. ONLY if the numbers mach, put the air conditioner relay in place of the starter relay, and try to start it again.

If you still get nothing, then it is either a bad starter or wire somewhere. On this car it may be a bit difficult to find and reach, but try to get to the starter on the bottom of the car. You can find pictures online of what it looks like if you are not sure. Play with the wires and knock on the starter with something hard like a rock or hammer. It doesn't take too much to do it, even a firm punch can do it, just don't break it. If this works then the starter is bad and needs serviced or replaced.

If there is still no response after this, there is nothing more you can do unless you are capable of taking things apart and checking the wiring. Good luck!

SOURCE: 02 Chevy Cavalier - Fast Clicking Noise When I Turn Key

your battery isnt holding enough charge to crank the starter.thats what the clicking is. try charging you battery for a good 8-10 hours, if it still does the same thing you'll need a new battery.

Testimonial: "Thanks! That was a quick response. :)"

92 chevy cavalier RS, I cannont get the headlamps to turn on, the high beams work, however the normal lights do not work. The lever on the left of the steering columb controls the cruise control,...

did you check to see if the fuse was any good.if it wasn`t then replace the fuse.a fuse will not cost you $25 as you indicate.if it works after changing the fuse that`s all you have to do.it could be the dimmer switch at the base of the steering colume that changes from high to low beam lights when you move the signal arm.you can find it by looking under the dash and move the arm to activate the switch to find it.you can check for power out of the switch with a test light.the wire color will be the same as the wire at the back of the headlight for the low beam.

My blinkers stopped working. At first I had to manually "blink" them, today they wont turn on. The hazards work fine. Its a 1992 roadmaster estate wagon.

Your fuse is blown or the flasher relay is defective or both. Check the fuse first and replace as nexessary. Note that this vehicle has 2 flasher relays, one for the turn signals and one for the hazard lights. The turn signal flasher relay is located on the driver's side, under the dash above the kick panel, mounted in the top of the fuse panel. The hazard relay is located same place on the bottom of the fuse panel so do not get them mixed up.

I have a 2004 chevy cavalier and my rear lights wont turn on

If they are flashing on and off there is probably a bad ground to the lights. If it were a fuse it would have blown and you would not have lights at all.

Tuned up a 1993 chevy cavalier has spark won't start

Spray aerosol carb cleaner into the throttle body while an assistant tries to start the engine. If it runs for a few seconds then quits, you are not getting fuel into the engine. Check the fuses. You might have blown the fuse for the fuel injectors (possible if you removed any of the injector harnesses) or the fuel pump relay.

1998 Chevy Cavalier Z24 left rear brake/turn lamps will not work

Sometimes even a new bulb will not work. If you have a Digital Multi Meter you can check that you have power going to the rear. I know that sometimes when a vehicle loses a bulb in one end that it can make the other end stop working. With that said, I suggest that you double check to see that the front works. I used to own a 98 Cavalier RS with the 2.2 liter motor and I know that there are fuses under the hood and behind a little door on the drivers side in the car. Might check fuses under the hood also.

Tail lights and dash lights not working

there are a few fuses under the hood be sure to check fuses again at dash they could look good but not be and if one was blown it could have blown as soon as you turned them on again that would indicate a short. it could be the switch also if it is the pull type try pulling it slowly to see if they come on and turning it like to dim the dash lights. if that makes them come on you need a new switch sometimes it will work sometimes not

Can't find the fuse for the horn

There is no accessory fuse in the engine compartment, although the fuse that opperates the horn is also attached to the cigarette lighter and that is located just inside the drivers door on the side of the dash.
