I just changed a battery and replace the battery termanals. When I turned the key I get the all the lights, but when I try and start the car, the lights go out and nothing happens. I turn on the lights and I have no pattern.

Is the starter the problem?

I apologize for missing what you mean, but what do you mean "you have no pattern"?

I guess what you meant by no pattern is nothing happened.

Recommend double check your battery connections it has to be right in order to make it to the starter.

If you know how to do a voltage drop test thi is the best time to do it. to finger the problem.

HTH-Good Luck!
