    Starting and headlights

    So anyone ever had this problem: my car cranks fine but doesn't start. It just so happens that the headlights don't work either (they work fine at other times when it is running). I looked at the wedophones wiring diagram and couldn't find a common ground with the headlights and any starting component (unless I missed something). Anyone have any ideas?

    Sounds like a possible ignition switch problem. Since the headlights only work when the ignition is in the run position this could be the issue.

      I agree. The cause of this condition could be the ignition switch, a wiring fault, or an aftermarket alarm.
      The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
