Car wont start, NEED HELP
Alright for the last month car has been acting weird, lights suddenly not working, dome light out, locks, but will return to normal. Couple of weeks a go i come out and my car wont start, nothing, like it doesnt even read that i put the key in. I wait a few min, then it started up no problem. Now yesterday same thing happens to me, i try to push start it but that didnt work. So i get it towed home and i checked the battery, and starter cables and they seem to be fine.
Pulled the bottom of the dash off and started to poke around, noticed that my locks dont work and when ever i hit the button to lock them i can hear a clicking sound under the dash. Also noticed the sound that the car usualy makes when you have the key in and the door opens wasnt there, but if i jiggled the key it would struggle to make the noise.
One last thing, my lights, dome light, etc. work, car just wont start and the door locks dont. Its like it just doenst read my key is in there, guages, radio won turn on.
Thanks a lot for any input.

Does your car have an aftermarket keyless entry or car alarm. Mine was doing the same thing. Turned out the previous owner installed a car alarm and didn't do a very good job. Once I disconnected it, car stared fine.

yes it does have a car alarm, but it did do this twice about 3 years ago when i didnt have an alarm. it hasn't done it since tho, but i'll try disconnecting the alarm, cause its not working either.
