Headlights coming on when cranking engine
Friends KV6. Try to crank and the headlights flicker. Does this make sense to my one, The battery may be low.
Separately no fuel is getting to the engine, it has old style fuel filter so separation is not an issue. I assume the checks are fuel and relay and if power it’s at the pump then it would be the pump. |

Tome that sounds like a dead battery, are you also getting a clicking noise when trying to crank it over. Suggest you charged battery for at least 24 hrs then try again, and that may also solve the other problems you have stu |

Headlamps flickering is a sign of a flat or defunct Battery. Try charging as suggested or a good replacement. The electronic systems do not like low battery voltage and could well be the issue with the fuel supply as well.

Agree, flat or end of life battery.
I'm sure you're not but don't keep trying to crank the engine whilst It's like this (some people keep trying in the hope that it will suddenly burst into life). |

Car has a flat battery and will need charged or replaced.
Don't keep cranking or trying to crank as it can cause issues with immobiliser chip.

Sounds like it is definitely a flat or fault with the battery.
Same symptons I had with my ZT-T recently when I left it parked up for a fews weeks. |
