What would be the location of the fuel injector on my car? The car battery is fully charged and there is gas in my 2009 Pontiac g6 gxp sedan. All inside and outside lights operate normally. With exception to my low beams due to light bulbs.

Really doubt all your fuel injectors failed.does it crank and not start, is your security light on solid or flashing with the key in the run position?

I tried to jump it. Still did nothing. All the lights are really bright. If the battery was completely shot wouldn't it still take a jump and start? Could it be the starter? It doesn't even click or do anything when you try to start it even with a jump.

I've seen a few of this before and even with a jump it will not start vehicle. If your starter were to be bad the error code would not, be displaying. Make sure you check your grounds as Well. Go get battery tested you will be surprise on the g6

When I turn the key I hear the clicking, but wont turn over. Sounds like the clicking is the starter trying to start. All electrical things like the lights, radio, etc work okay. It tries to start, but just does not turn on.

Try hitting starter body with hammer while an assistant tries to start car if it does the starter is probably bad. Auto parts can check it.

The clicking could be the battery low on voltage, do a load check to test it, here is a guide that will help.

If it doesn't say expert b y their name the answer is not from 2 car pros. Try resetting your security system if no manual look online.

My car won't start it just shut off and wouldn't start back up. The lights and everything works inside but it doesn't say anything when you try to crank it. The screen reads error, and it wouldn't read the diagnostic or OH check. Could you please tell me what's wrong with it.

Check the 2 items in pic if both are ok then you'll need to get it scanned for codes as it may be a body module problem. Switch the relay with a like relay to test it.
