Turn key on lights work and every thing else works. Turn key to start all dash lights go out. Head light goes dim.

Good afternoon,

Sounds like you either have a low battery or dirty cables.

Use a voltmeter on the battery and test the voltage. Then have someone try to crank it and tell me that voltage as well.

Do you have a voltmeter to give me the actual voltage? I need that information.
