(they are adjustable) you will get dash lights and all accessories but wont engage the starter. use a test light to see if the start wire on the starter is energizing. if not i would look at the ignition switch.

We replaced the starter and sol plus new cables and it still wouldn't start until he put the cables together. Look under the steering wheel for an alarm...Tj

Spin tires no problem, started every time with no hesitation. So then i let it sit for 6 months, tried to start it, no luck, jump started it, started right up. Shut her off, and took the radio out to sell it to a friend. I let it sit for another 3 months, i swap out the radiator and put a new one in it, because the old one had a hole. i go back to start it no luck, jumper box wont start it, jumper cables on 3 diff vechicles wont start it. I take off the starter and put another one in it from the yard, my uncle owns a salvage yard. I have no idea why it wont start, it wont even try to turn over, When go to start it the guages all work, the fuel is 1/4 full, the battery meter goes to 14, the engine temp light goes the whole way to the right and back down, which idk if thats normal or not. I hear a faint "clicking" but thats it. I need to get this thing on the road in the next week or two. I'm 17 years old. I have access or own every tool possible needed to fix it, i just dont know how. Im selling my 2002 Chevy Trailblazer with 78000 miles on it and i need a vechicle to drive. I'm on a mission bc my mom thinks im making a big mistake selling this new vechicle to drive this "old junker" around. But she don't understand, its a jeep, and nothing runs like a jeep. Guys please help me. By the way the radio is still out of the jeep, i dont know if this matters.
