My car will not crank.

Asked by Christopher May 02, 2020 at 08:22 PM about the 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LT Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Please help. My Cobalt will not start. There's no
clicking or anything. I replaced the battery, starter,
and ignition switch. I get power inside but it will not
crank. The starter has power as well but will not
engage. I have no idea what else it could be.

First of all, stop replacing parts until you find the problem. You could have hired a mechanic to trouble shoot it for you for the price you spent on unneeded parts. Scan the car for trouble codes. They may be gone due to the battery replacement, but they might still be there. Check all the various grounds on the car. There are several. Find them and clean and tighten them. Proper grounds are extremely important on modern cars. Check all fuses and relays in the fuse panels to make they are all in place and working. It sounds electrical to me. After you've done all that you still may need the services of a technician who is experienced with trouble shooting automotive electrical systems. Good luck.
