My Car Doesnt Even Swtich On
Ok here it is my car doesn't switch on when I turn the key. But everything else works, light trun on when I switch them on, and other lights on the interior work like head light and door lights. So can anyone help me with this problem. Remember nothing clicks on when I turn the key, all fuses are good (under dash and under hood) and battery is charged. So if anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Check your main relay, It's a retangular shiney box between your trailing coil and firewall. Make sure you didn't burn that out somehow.
I guess start there.

So when you turn the key, everything else turns on (lights, beeping noises, radio, etc) but the car just doesn't crank or turn over? If thats the case it could also be your starter.

I had the same problem, you can jack the car up on the drivers side, and have someone tap the starter with a hammer while you try to start the car. The starter could be frozen.

I'm still not getting anything like I said when I turn on the lights they turn on and when I open the door the door lights turn on, everything directly connected to the battery works. The thing is that when I turn the key on the gauges dont come on like to show fuel level and temperature, and the car doesnt click or turn over its like the ignition isnt getting any power when I turn the key. Checked all fuses and they are good under dash and under hood all are good. I cant find out what the hell is goin on and I tried all above and its still not working. Need Help.....Any help will be appreciated....Thanks members of RX7Club

Ignition switches tend to get loose, then mushy, then die on the FC around 105K miles. If you been hanging a heavy ring of keys off the switch, deduct another 15K miles.
Good luck.
