Default Car won’t start
Help! My car won’t start. Put the key in the ignition and I get a click and no power or anything just a click. The battery
is new any idea what this could be? Starter? Cables?

Check the battery cables and connection first. Verify that the battery at rest is in the 12.1V+ range. Does the car dash light up with the key in the ON position?

The lights come on then everything goes out when I turn the key. Strange. It just goes click and I lose all power

Sounds like a dead battery, bad alternator, or a bad connection between the two. Make sure the cables are clean and tight at the battery terminals.
