    My GF has an 04 Grand Prix. About 2 blocks from the house she said all her dash lights came on and as she pulled in the driveway she turned it off, however all the dash lights stayed on and clicking noises came from fuse block under the hood, radio and fan stayed on as well. I disconnected the battery to try to reset but no help. Now it's just disconnected and in the middle of the the driveway. Will not start either. I've never seen anything like this. Please help!!

    Check the voltage on the battery and check the conditions of the terminals and clean if necessary.

    I took the battery for my Bette and put it in there and nothing. The check engine light is on and on the heads up display the low fuel light is on, there is 1/2 tank, and charging system failure came up as well

    Could it be the alt going bad? She don't take care of it and when things do go wrong she waits till its dead to tell me about it and I can't get my truck or car out to get to work because she parked in the middle of driveway. Pretty much have to do something to move it at least tonight

    First off.. until the engine starts, it's totally normal for every light to be on. This happens in nearly every car on the road. So skip the worries over the various lights, they mean nothing currently. Once the car is running..then we can pay attention and consider them.

    Second, If you get nothing at all from the key when trying to start it. Yet the blower and lights etc work, that sounds like a bad ground. Look down at the front of the engine where it meets the transmission. There is a stud holding the trans to engine with two black loop grounds and the neg battery cable. Make sure all three are there and clean. Likely you'll find that one came loose. Either that or check the starter, similar situation but add a small purple wire that is the soleniod to activate the starter.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
