- Faulty ignition switch: The ignition switch is responsible for providing power to the car's electrical systems, including the lights, windshield wipers, and fuel pump. If the ignition switch is faulty, it may not be able to properly supply power to these systems, causing them to malfunction.
- Blown fuse: A blown fuse can also prevent the lights, windshield wipers, and fuel pump from working. Check the fuse box for any blown fuses and replace them as necessary.
- Bad relay: A bad relay can also cause the lights, windshield wipers, and fuel pump to malfunction. Check the relay box for any bad relays and replace them as necessary.
- Faulty wiring: Faulty wiring can also cause the lights, windshield wipers, and fuel pump to malfunction. Check the wiring for any loose or damaged connections and repair them as necessary.
- Faulty fuel pump: If the fuel pump is faulty, it will not be able to supply fuel to the engine, which will prevent the car from starting. Check the fuel pump for any signs of damage and replace it if necessary.
Additionally, if the car has been sitting for a long period, the battery could have drained and lost power.
If the lights and windshield wipers are on while trying to start the car, the battery is likely drained.
