When I turn the key to the right, all the lights in the dash should come on. But only the one on the right side (seatbelts?) does while it beeps. No glow-plugs light, no battery, etc. And of course, the starter doesn't even respond upon trying to start it. When I turn the key to off, only the battery light comes on, and stays on even after I pull the key out. A mechanic told me that I should push the key hard all the way into the switch, and at first it worked a couple of times but then no. What could be going on?
ps. when, if, the lights come on and I turn the key, the engine starts before even one turn. Thanks for answer(s)
