What does it mean when my car won’t turn on but my lights work?
Today I went to start my car and it won''t turn on but my light still work. I'm not sure what the problem could be. When my car won't turn on but my lights work, what does it mean?

I’m sorry to hear your car won’t start! If your car won’t turn on but your headlights still work, you’re probably dealing with a damaged or broken ignition.
Here are some other reasons your car might now turn on:
- Gas tank is empty
- Fuel filter needs to be replaced
- No spark
Your best bet is to have a local mechanic look at the car. Check your
car insurance
policy to see if you have roadside assistance
. If so, you won’t have to pay anything to have your car towed. No long forms. No calling around. No hard work. Just savings. Jerry customers save on average $800+ per year on car insurance!
