If it is not even trying to start it is probably the battery. It takes far more power from the battery to start a vehcile than it does to run any of the accessories off it so what you are experiencing is common when a battery needs replacing.Have the battery tested by a car mechanic which will be able to tell you if you need a new battery or not.
There are so many reasons it could be.If it is not even trying to start and it seems like nobody is home when you turn the key I would start with simple things like getting a car mechanic to do a health check on the battery as you may only need a battery.Otherwise it could be:A bad starter motor.It could also be bad spark plugs if it is a gas car or bad glow plugs if it is a diesel.If it is is a gas car it could also be an ignition problem.It also could be poor compression but normally you would hear that.It good be overfuelling which is more commonly knowing as flooding or running too rich or it could be running to lean.It also could be blocked fuel lines or a bad fuel pump.You could have also bought bad gas or diesel from the station. Contaminated fuel.If you are living in a super cold climate like Canada or somewhere you could be having trouble with your fuel freezing.There is a possiablity that the air intake is blocked in someway.It could also be a problem with the car’s computer.There are so many things it can be if you can give more detail we can help you more. Does it even try to start? Does is blow any smoke while trying to start? Etc etc. Hope this helps.
I have a 2003 Chevy Impala with 77,000 miles on it. WHen I turn there is a single click and when I bring the?
The smell is nothing to worry about, that is normal for a car that has just been driven. You are smelling the brakes, and the dust on the wheel is from the metalic pads on the front brakes, which is normal unless you change to different pad that are more semi-metallic. The clicking noise is probably the brake pads doing it. If you have checked the CV joints then its not them. Put the car on a rack or some place someone can watch it while you get in and out to make it do the clicking sound. Problems like these can run you crazy to find and one could speculate to no end as to the cause, so the reason you have gotten no answers is nobody can tell you what it is without visually checking the car. Try putting it up on jack stands and running it while someone looks around for the noise. Watch out for the wheels spinning as they will KILL you. I have saw brake pads do this exact clicking noise, and the only thing that could be done was to make the pads fit the caliper tighter by bending the ears on the outside pad. The one that goes to the piston side doesn't need it, as it is held in place by a retainer clip. The outer pad is allowed to flop around and the only way I have ever been able to deal with that problem was to put good quality pads such a Raybestos or NAPA brand on there. Get the semi-metallic with the shims and use the brake anti squeel lube on them at all contact points of metal to metal, but not on the pad surface as it will grab and throw you through the windshield. This might be an idea, find the area the clicking is coming from, and spray WD-40 around the area to see if it makes it go away!! Good Luck!!

The interior lights of my 2003 chevy impala won't turn off while driving and won't turn off when I park .?
To keep it from draining the battery , remove the lens and remove the bulb.. That will take care of the immediate problem of a dead battery. Removing the fuse is not a good solution as there may be other accessories on the same fuse. To repair the problem and have a functioning interior light you probably need to replace the switch.
My 2003 Chevy Impala won't start. Last night the temperature outside was below 35 degrees. Why wont it start ?
One thing could be your battery. Do you have a neighbor who can give you a jump start? You may end up just buying a new battery, in the end. If once you get a jump start, and it still won't start, but does turn over, you may have a frozen gas line or moisture in the tank. you may want to have a can of gas line antifreeze on hand, as well as a can of fuel ingecter cleaner on hand, as well. Both items can be purchased at your local Wal-Mart store, or any auto parts store, like Auto Advance, Napa, Carquest. And so on.
Why wont my 2003 Chevy Impala wont accelerate over 40mph?
if you can rev the engine say five thousand rpm then its the transmission.. but check the fuel pressure and the fuel filter. the engine is starving for gas. the fuel pressure should be a constatnt figure and not drop.. also a blockage in the fuel line like a dirty fuel filter can cause this also a air cleaner. can do that. oh i just read no problems with rpm that means the transmission is bad.. probably cloged filter.. you can check that drive up on some ramps remove the transmision pan there is a filter on top that connects to a tube replace that filter and this might cure the problem.. about 1 hour work ok.

2003 Impala key won't turn?
I had the same problem with my 2000 Malibu. I would struggle to turn the ignition key. It is fairly simple to replace your ignition cylinder. They are about $140. I urge you to change your ignition cylinder while you still can. There is a metal pin that attaches to the housing of the cylinder, in order to move the pin out of the way so the cylinder could come out you must turn the key to ACC. My Malibu's ignition cylinder got stuck for good and the key wouldn't turn so the only way to get it out and replace it was to drill out the cylinder. It took me about two hours, just drilling. After i replaced the cylinder i haven't had any problems. Hope this helps.
My 2003 Impala won't turn on?
So I was playing with my aftermarket stereo because a few wires were loose and I wired the two front speakers directly to it instead of the original factory amp. Then when I put everything back together I ran into 2 problems. 1. The radio cuts off at high volume and then turns back on and will continue until I turn it down. 2. Now the bigger issue is that the car won't start, I've had this problem before when I disconnected the battery (which I didn't do this time, I just left the door open to keep power from going to the radio) and I was able to get past the security lock by holding down this little button on the black panel by the petals. This time thought that didn't help, when I turn the key it sounds like it is dieing and all of the dials on the dash go up and down. Please offer any ideas on how to fix this. I believe it's an electrical problem
