> [@russell13](#): > > turns over Does it sound like it is cranking at normal speed? If not, probably low battery. If cranking normally: Try a starting fluid spray, if it starts, it is a fuel system problem. ---

Won’t start and can’t turn the key seems like a bad battery. How old is the battery? You can remove it and take it to an auto parts store. They will test t and tell you if it’s bad. Call the store first and make sure their battery tester works. ---

OP says it cranks. A cranking motor requires a good amount of power. Dead battery and cranking don’t seem to fit. ---

How is it cranking if you can’t turn the key on? You know in your mind hat you are trying to ask, but we can’t read your mind. ---

> [@russell13](#): > > wont start turns over put scaner on it wont let me in turn kek on no dash lights Allow me to translate: It cranks but won’t start. I put a scanner on it but it won’t let me in. When I turn the key on I get no dash lights. ---

Do dash lights work normally up until you crank the engine, then they disappear? ---

If the battery turns the starter over fast. the first thing I would do is check the fuses and relays. if you’re not getting power to your OBD port or dash lights it could be a blown fuse and/or bad relay
