Anyone got any idea what this is? I'm pretty sure it isn't the starter because the damn thing clearly sounds like its working overtime. My best guess right now is theres something up with the fuel pump. Lmk guys and thanks.

You checked fuses?

Gonna take a look later today
Although I had mechanics check the car out and they told me they couldn't figure out what was wrong
Feel like they would've caught a blown fuse

Sanity check: anything show up on code scanner? That may have a clue for a diagnostic starting point. Also, do you hear the fuel pump hum when you key on before starting?

You have pretty much every error light on, what are the codes. Engine cranks inconsistently, could be low compression on one of the cylinders or locked up.

All the lights are on because the car isn't running

Apart from the tire pressure on they’ll go away after starting

Not necessarily, it’s past lamp test mode and the screen is scrolling though error symbols.
