e420 94 will not start
 

i noticed as i was driving that speedometer, gas, temp, hand was not moving. i cut the car off tried to restart but would not. all the lights on dash came on. i was told to check to see if the security light was on but it wasnt. check fuses all good could someone give me some insight on this problem iam thinking it may be the switch

Sure sounds like a fuse problem. Very little connection between gauges and the car starting. It also could just be a dead battery caused by a failing alternator.

hi steve
but the car was running at first yhen i turn around an cut it off . is there any fuses in side of car that i need to check. the fuel pump an everything come on but when turning to crank nothing it does not try to turn over

<but when turning to crank nothing it does not try to turn over

So , does this mean the car will not CRANK ?? ..or does it mean it cranks , but won't START ????

Do the headlights stay bright when you try to crank it?

no it will not crank yes the headlight are bright

Try moving shifter from P to N ..
..and replace fuse #5..

moved from p to n an fuse is good

If you should follow Steve's and Arthur's advice, and check the fuses - check them closely - a nearly invisible hairline crack, left me in the exact same predicament.

(after checking the battery, doing the headlight test, and trying to start in N vs. P, I checked the fuses, and voila! that's all it was)
Good thing too...I was out on a date :D

ok larry because i didnt check them very closely just didnt check them closely

The reason I said to just go and Change fuse 5 is b/c we see this all the time..the fuse looks fine, but the ends do not conduct ..and if that fuse circuit is open , the K38 Starter Interlock Relay does not allow starter activation..fitting your common complaint on that chassis.
So, change it , regardless of how you think it looks ...just to get that common problem off the table.

ok larry i will check and change the #5 fuse thanks.
also larry my temp rises when i sit still could this be the thermostat got a new radiator on it u have any ideal

If the viscous fan clutch is good, and the low speed fan does NOT come on, I would suspect that one of the wires to the resistor has burned off. (naturally, I would check any fuses first, and then verify that the fan works to begin with).
There are probably other things to check - but - I mention the resistor, because it has happened to me 3 or 4 times in the last 5 years, and I'm not the only one it has happened too.

yes the fans come on when the temp goes up

Low speed and High speed?
The lows are fairly quiet - the highs are noticable from at least 10-15 feet away.

i replaced the belt the belt tensioner seem a little soft i was think about replacing the tensioner could it be the tensioner

the high i here but i have not notice the lows on when would the lows come on. i have had this car for 3 year an no problem now thing are popping up

an were would i find the wires to resister at

Behind the driver's side headlamp (assuming this is a left hand drive), under a protective, perforated metal cover, that is mounted on to the wheelwell. The alarm horn might get in the way a little. It think it is held on by two 8mm nuts with washers. Look for the wiring, and give them a gentle tug.

3 years, eh? How many miles?

202000 miles garage kept when purchased very clean inside out. do u think the tensioner would be the problem with temp

Probably not.

Did you get it started?

yes i did get it started i replaced the fuse thank a lot but now when cutting the radio on the inside light come on when cutting the radio off it does the same thing antenna does not work the electric door locks does not work iam going to check all fuse when i get off work

You'r Welcome..............

I think my car is your car's twin.
This is going to sound weird - turn the climate control to off (right most button). Then, turn the ignition on.
I think, that is what worked for me. btw...this phenomenon won't happen all the time...once you get it back to "normal" it will work fine for weeks or even months, and then one day, you look at it cross-eyed, and it does that blinking light/radio won't work/locks won't work, thing.
