Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I have checked the battery and the
alternator and they are fine. When I turn
the car on you can hear everything engage
but when I turn the car over it just makes a
ingle click noise and it doesn't turn over

Did you remove dash? Get everything re-connected? Did you drop or lower steering column? All wiring intact, harnesses connected? You may have an activated anti-theft system, is light on steady or flashing?
Yeah I dropped the steering column and I'm not sure about the light. I get home around 1. I can check that out it see if it flashing. If it's the anti-theft system how do I turn it off?
Hey thanks a lot man it was the anti-theft system.

I got the same exact issue, replaced heater core, put it all back together, everything works when I turn the key on, will not turn over or anything.
I have done all the above & car still won’t start
When you turn the key do you see ANY dash lights? Recheck all the battery connections, fuses, including mega fuse, check for voltage just in case you blew a fusible link. If all that checks out then check status of anti theft system and that all wire harness connectors were reconnected.
