I Accidentally Turned The Key To Start My Car Without Pressing The Clutch Pedal And The Car Started To Buzzz... I Tried To Start Normally And It Wouldn' T Start At All.. In The Run Position The Car Will Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.. Then My Horn Slightly Died When I Tried It You Can Hear A Low Horn ... Head Lights Dont Work.. Radio Doesnt Come On Even In The First Key Click Position.. The Dash Lights Are Dim After The Second Click But When You Take The Key Out It Buzzzz And I Press The Brake And It Stops....
If I Turn The Key To The Second Position And Press The Brake The Dash Lights Cut Off..let The Brake Go They Turn On N Start Buzzing ...i Tried Putting On My Hazards And It Was A Wierd Buzz Sound Near The Driver Side Mirror I Think ....
The Seat Belts Dont Move Automatically However The Car Beeps When The Door Is Open Nd The Key Is In The Car .


When The Car Buzzed The Very First Time I Held The Brake.. No Brake Lights Came On... Minutes Later The Brake Light Just Popped On.. The Car Seemed Normal Again I Went To Start It Up And Nothing ...back To The Buzz This Time Its Worst Nothing Works And The Dash Lights Are Very Dim
I Had The Doors Shut And The Key In The Second Position The Car Went Beep...beep...beep(normal) Then Immediately Went Faster Beep Beep Beep (like Somethings Wrong) ...tried The Dome Light It Came On A Lil Dim Though But Nothing Else Is Working Locks Radio Belts Headlights Brake Lights Nothing

To Get Home I Jump Started The Car It Made It No Problem.. Parked And Tried To Restart Buzzzzzzz The Engine Wont Turn At All Its Like Its No Power ... Whats The Problem With This Car??? I Been Driving It For Past Three Months Never Had This Problem Car Always Started Fine ..... Recently Installed Ne Plugs N Wires

The battery is dead.
Or your battery cables are dirty.

I had this problem when I first dropped in my motor. It really worried me. I put the charger on the battery for a few hours so I KNEW the battery was charged. Well it took a good few minutes cleaning the posts and battery cables with a cleaner.

I am almost one hundred percent sure that it is either your battery is almost completely dead or MORE LIKELY your cables and battery posts need to be thoroughly cleaned.


Invest in one of those. It's a battery post cleaner/battery cable cleaner. The wire brush part sticking out goes into the cable hole, clean it up. The other goes on top of the post and you twist it.

Edit:
Props for capitalizing every word.
That Would Be Kind Of Annoying For Me To Do All The Time. :p

yea i figured that was the problem because the terminal is white. and it jump started fine so i think the alternator is fine. however, it happened when i turn the key without pressing the clutch does this drain the battery to the point it wont start the car. or is my ignition switch bad?

and sometimes my key gets stuck in the start position you sometimes have to guide it back when it should be automatic

I doubt anything is bad. Just needs cleaned up.
It could have just happened at random. Turning the key without the clutch in won't harm anything.

Clean it up, if it still does it, charge or replace your battery.

you were absoulutely correct thanks a lot. i got the battery tested and its fine. there was hard white stuff on the bolt that holds the clamp. i dusted it off. also the negative wire seemed loose on the clamp i tightened the two screws and reconnected.. car started right up..
any idea why my key gets stuck when i start up though

No problem. Congrats on fixing the problem. :D

The key getting stuck is a whole other issue all together, and i'm sorry but I don't know much about ignitions. You could run a search, I think I saw someone else having that problem too.

Good luck fixing the key. :)
