I have a 2007 Chevy Cobalt that won't start. It has power but won't turn over. I can hear the starter click, then it just loses all power. I tried to jump the car, but it still won't start. I assumed it was from a frozen line, because my car was empty the last time i drove it, and it got to minus 15 below zero. But after a few days of warmer weather, still nothing :(

Hi, I will give you some pointer and you take it from there. I hope this pointers can help you out.
Usually the click sound is that the starter is trying to connect with the flywheel, and is not able to get to the flywheel, hitting the metal, that is the click sound.
Now the ? is why. This could be due to not a very good connection between the battery and the starter, or maybe a problem with the ignition switch. The best way to find out is to take the starter out and connect it directly to the car's battery. Check for the solenoid and any marks that could have. While it's out, check the flywheel.
Good luck.

SOURCE: chevy tahoe won't turnover, power

Next time it won't start turn headlights on and see if they dim when you turn key to start, if they dim its most likely starter, if they don't dim possible starter switch, Have you tried to start it in neutral position? Try that, if it starts in neutral than its park neutral switch, if not could be starter switch, Just make sure you chk. all fuses and any relays associated with ignition first.

SOURCE: 2007 chevy cobalt ls won't

Ignition relay or fuse could be the problem. When you turn the key to start do you hear a fuel pump kicking on and or do you have spark when you hot wire the starter (I know it's hard to check while trying to start it)? You can email me back and I might be able to pinpoint it more.

My 2007 Chevy Malibu wont crank no lights come on but their is a clicking coming from the back of the car even when the key is out of the ignition

The clicking sound you're hearing from the back of your 2007 Chevy Malibu could be due to a few different things. Here are a few possibilities:
  1. Dead battery: If the battery is dead or weak, you might hear a clicking sound when you try to start the engine. You can check the battery by trying to jump-start the car or by using a voltmeter to measure the voltage.
  2. Starter issue: If the clicking sound is coming from the starter, it could mean the starter solenoid is failing or the starter motor is damaged. A faulty starter can cause a clicking sound but no engine cranking.
  3. Relay issue: A relay is an electrical component that switches power to various systems in the vehicle. If a relay is faulty, you might hear a clicking sound when you turn the key, but no lights will come on.
  4. Alternator issue: If the alternator is failing, it may cause the battery to drain, which can lead to a clicking sound but no engine cranking.
If you're unable to diagnose the issue yourself, I recommend having a professional mechanic take a look. They can perform a thorough inspection to determine the cause of the problem and make the necessary repairs

My 2005 chevy cobalt starter is locked...thus battery clicks as if it is drained when I try to turn on car. I think the key fob somehow locked started, but I cannot figure out how to undo it...I cannot...

Pretty sure you have a dead battery. The radio and lights may come on, but if the capacity to start is not there, the starter will not turn. There is no such thing as a locked starter, as you describe.
