My Car Wont Start

Dead car
If your car does not start there could be numerous possibilities. Here is a list of things to check
- Check for bad connections on the battery
- check the battery
- If it still cranks check the volts on the alternator to see if it’s still charging ( should be somewhere between 13.2 to 15.2 volts if charging)
- Check all connections from battery to the starter
- if you can tap lightly on the starter and it will crank most likely its starter.(be careful tapping some starters contain magnets)
- if all of this checks well and you turn the key on and the lights come on but the engine does nothing(no clicking) then it could also possibly be ignition switch or neutral safety switch.
- If you have not yet determined the issue checking the fuses would always be a good idea.
