Also, none of my inside lights work as well as the horn. The only things that are working are the radio and dash lights. What could it be?

It all depends on the cost of the starter. Where I live mechanics charge $65 an hour labor so you can figure at least 1-2 hours depending on your vehicle. As for lights and horn, check for blown fuses. If all your fuses are good you will need to take it to a mechanic that deals with electircal work. Could be an inline fuse.

Depends on the make, model, and year of the vehicle. A lot of shops do not allow you to bring in your own parts and want you to rely on their parts. This is not because they do not think that your parts are not good, it so that if there is something wrong after the installation that is their fault, and not the part that you brought in. you are looking at any were between $20.00-$50.00 for labor alone. Your horn and lights problem may just be as simple as a blown fuse. Best of luck to you on getting your vehicle back up and running!

You could have told us what kind and year of car, engine, etc. to help answer this, but just guessing "generically" to the question could be the ignition switch. I say that because they have several contacts in them that cause several different circuits to come on when you turn the ignition "on" with the key. The one that works the radio is usually the "accessory" contact and is not part of the ones that actually run the car. If one or more of the main contacts are burnt out then you will get he same sort of problem. If you can please give us some more info on this and we can help you further. as certain vehicles have problems that might be more common on those models.

i own a repair shop,and the starter part of it could be anywhere from 100-250 ,depending on the cost of the starter,and the lights,could just be a few blown fuses on it causing them not to work,,or a bad light switch, but you might need to get it checked by a real good mechanic,,because if you take it to one that's not that familiar with electrical problems ,it will take them longer to find the problem,as for an experienced one ,may be able to go right to the problem,,good luck,i hope this help,s.

Go to the auto supply and buy a rebuilt starter. Then look around for someone to install it. By the way, how do you know you need a new starter ?? Do you know there are "mechanics" out there who will tell you that your starter is bad, charege you for a new one and never change it ?? Some times its a loose wire or a solenoid. Don't get ripped off.

it dosent sound like your starter, it sounds like some blown fuses, if its an older vehicle( 70's and 80's) most likely fuses, but if it was your starter your car wouldnt be going. I would take it to a mechanic and have them check it out. def. dont take it to the dealer, they charge WAY to much for minor work. hope this helps.

entirely too much. get a manual for your vehicle at the auto parts store and do it yourself.
