My car wont start the interior lights come on but the headlights don't and it doesn't do anything when I turn the key. I hooked it up to a battery charger and still nothing?

Hello,

Typically you will have a no start issue if there is an issue with the starting system (battery or starter), lack of fuel (bad pump or relay), lack of spark (due to a ECM error code)
So when you turn the key nothing happens?
If so you might have a faulty starter or starter relay.

Is your check engine light on?
If so what are the codes?
