Car will not turn over. All lights, bells, and whistles work but turn the key to start and nothing happens. It has a new starter, battery, alternator, and ignition switch. I replaced the 20 amp fuel/start...

Neutral safety switch if automatic, Or Clutch safety switch if manual. Hope this works for you. If its Automatic place in neutral and try and star it.

Immobeliser kicked in when battery died

Three possible cures for your situation. Start with the least complicated. BeCM basic reset.
-Disconnnect the negative lead from battery.
-Put key in ignition and turn to second position (all on)
-Leaving the driver door open, return to engine compartment and replace the negative lead
-Close the hood
-Back to drivers seat, all the bells and whistles should be going off
-Turn the key to the starting position. Turn it over.

TIP: You MUST HAVE a healthy fully charged battery for any success resetting the immobilizer.
If no help then we are on to the (emergency key access) EKA door lock method.
Good luck with the simple solution. Message me direct if unsuccessful and I will forward the detailed EKA procedure.

Honda civic troubleshooting

It takes a lot less power to run all the goodies than it does to start your car up.Do you have a battery charger? or can you borrow one to charge the battery up overnight. You might even try a boost.Check the connections at the battery and clean them if they are dirty.This doesn't sound like a fuse to me.Try the simple stuff first and then go from there.Let me know how you make out.good luck

I want to be able to keep the key in the ignition and have the door open and the bell not go off

The bell is there to remind you your keys are in the ignition when the engine isnt running so you dont lock your keys in the car accidentally. You can unplug the bell under your dash, but I dont recommend it. If you do, make sure you have a spare key handy. Locating the bell can be challenging, but just listen to where it seems to be coming from and disassemble the dash at that point. You should be able to find it then.

My 2001 Impala wont start, battery reads good on an amp meter as well as the alternatior, when key is placed in the ignition all bells and whistles blow but car wont start.

What are you using to "read" the battery? A multi-meter, perhaps? A battery can show 12 volts on a multi-meter and still not have enough voltage to start a car. The voltage will be adequate to operate most electrical functions but inadequate to crank the car. If you hear a clicking sound when you turn the key, the starter is not getting enough voltage.
You should have the battery "load tested." Most auto parts places do this at no charge.

Instrument panel not working and battery keeps draining

WITH THE KEY OFF AND OUT OF THE IGNITION, CHECK THE FUSES AND YOU MAY GET AN IDEA OF WHICH CIRCUITS ARE DRAWING POWER WHEN THE ENGINE IS OFF. I HOPE THIS HELPS. PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED. THANKS FOR USING FIX-YA. BEST OF LUCK

Ignition light won't go out dodge dakota 1998

I think you have a defective door ajar switch, this makes the control module think the door is open, that explains the light and the key in ignition warning.

Check your alternator to see if is charging propperly.. There is also a fuse in the car to control the alternator charging as well. you should look at this.
