If the battery tests low with a hydrometer or fails a load test, it must be charged.

The problem is solved if it accepts a charge or a jump from another battery and the vehicle starts.

Check your car’s manual to find the location of the fuse box, then open it.

With no power running in the vehicle, inspect the fuse for a metal wire.

If the fuses are in good shape, the car’s ignition switch is faulty.

Diagnosing and fixing a broken ignition switch is more complicated than checking for a blown fuse.

To find out for sure, hire a mechanic.

Check for ground and power at the head unit.

For a quick fix, disconnect the battery, remove the headlight fuse, and remove the headlight relay.
