nothing happens when i turn ignition

[FraXXo]

when i turn it to accessory, none of the dash lights light up ( battery, oil, fuel pump noise ) and the car wont turn over either. theres just nothing there. we've checked all the wiring that we could, the battery works, its now 4:30 am and we cant think of anything else to check out. anyone have any ideas of what to check?

we just finished taking out my turbo timer that was not working properly

Did you test the battery with a meter? Are you sure its good, did you check the fuses at all?

The battery is probably dead. Or you have blown some fuses

How do you know the battery works? Esp when there is no light or sound coming from the car?

yea the battery is fine, and we've checked all the fuses. checked and triple checked. the headlights turn on, but nothing happens when i turn the ignition

Getting any radio or interior lights?

Something similar happened to me a few weeks ago. Accessories would come on, but engine wouldn't turn over for nothing...

After checking the starter, fuses, battery and ignition system... We found the problem to be the clutch not engaging properly due to a little rubber grommet breaking off and the clutch simply needed an adjustment to get the car running right again.

At least I was able to push start it until I figured the problem out though...

You sure your alternator fuse didnt blow? the 75a next to the batt. Is your clutch safety switch still good? Check the starter? All of these went bad on me and after replacing them it was all good.

clutch doesnt need to be in to start the car, BUT i figured out the problem. it was a fuseable link. even tho we checked all of them, they seemed fine. but i guesss not. anyways thanks for all your help!~
