I had a starter replaced in my 2003 Chevy Impala and now my car won't start and my horn, radio, and headlights not working. What could cause this?

Sounds like your not getting any power from battery at all, who ever replaced the starter didn't connect your cable from battery correctly. one hot cable runs from battery to starter , you can start there, check battery and fuse, in not a mechanic, but I've changed a few starters on Chevy truck, hope this helps, good luck!

Did you disconnect your battery when replacing the starter? Check your fuses and see if you blew a fuse or missed a step connecting the wiring correctly.

It’s either the cable from the fuse box to the battery or the cable from the battery to the starter, my guess is from the fuse box to the battery since you have no power in other areas as well.

Check all the battery cables. It sounds like one is disconnected. Trace the one from the fuse block and make sure it is connected to a positive source.

SOURCE: 98 saturn sl1 won't start

I have a 98 Saturn SL1 from time to time it would not start, it wouldn't even try. I knew the battery was good. It turned out to be the cranshaft position sensor.

SOURCE: 2003 chevy impala ls starts then stalls

I have replaced the radiator in my 2003 Chevrolet Impala LS. The car started running hot and shut down. Took it to a radiator shop and found a crack in the radiator. I have replaced 2 thermostats in the car already. I noticed water running from under my car today and it seems it was coming back out of the overflow. I am stumped as to what is going on with this car.

SOURCE: Radio works (tuner, volume control, cd) but no sound

If your radio looks to be working and no sound, open trunk and mounted underneath the deck lid you will see your amp or sound booster. It should have two plugs that plug into it. Unplug the one with two orange wires and with the car switch turned on, check to see if the two orange wires have power on them. If they don't get ready to take out the rear interior and underneath the rear carpet almost at the front seat you will see a big plastic sleeve full of wires on the passenger side. Inside this sleeve there will be one orange wire branching into two orange wires, check to see if it is corroded. That would be where I start.

I have a 2001 Chevy Impala LS that won't crank,

I doubt it has anything to do with the key switch.
If the security system is the cause, the security warning light should be on.
Someone would need to check the circuit between the key switch and the starter when it fails to crank to find the problem.

"2003 Chevy Impala won't start". Car would not

The alternator is not charging,or the battery wont take a charge.If all accessories work fine when its running after you've boosted it,its likely the battery.

2003 Chevy Impala - radio, instrument lights/displays go very, very dim when headlight turn on (auto on feature...sensor on dash). Turning dimming knob up does not help.

There are two possible cause of dim display.

On the deluxe trim level of the Impala the is light sensor. When the sensor mis-calibrated the light will not be at the level you want.

As a test,use a small flash light and aim to the sensor and see is the circuit act according it.

====
The dimmer light is a VERY CHEAP component. I will glow it out with compress air 1st. Turn the dial back and forth 20-30 time in rapid motion will help remove unwanted carbon,

===
Use a eletrical contact cleaner to clean all contacts.
===
Is the headlight in OEM specification?

After market headlights may draw more amperage and cause low power for smaller bulbs.

2003 Impala headlights stopped working. I checked

Ok, locate the relay panel (probably inder the hood) and find the relay that controls the headlamps. With your headlight switch "on", pull the relay and see if your getting a hot current to the connectors in the relay panel. If it's hot, replace the relay. If no current, it's probably your headlight switch.

I am trying to replace the headlights on my 2003 chevy impala.

You open your bonnet, remove the bulb, check the watts and replace with a higher wattage bulb.
