What Are Some Reasons My Car Won’t Start?
Several reasons can lead to your car not starting, but it is likely related to the ignition system, the battery, or some problem with the starting mechanism.
- For the best case, your battery is healthy but was somehow drained (lights left on, dome light left on, door left open, or some other battery-draining situation). This is an easy fix that a simple jump-start should remedy.
- You have an old battery, which may no longer be able to hold a charge. If a jump start doesn’t work or you have the same problem the next morning, this is the likely suspect. Have your battery tested to be sure and bring it to Victory Ford of Garnett to find out for sure.
- Service is needed for your starting system, which occurs because of a mechanical problem in your ignition system that can drain your battery or keep your battery from charging properly.
If a jump start won’t do it, have your battery tested by the professionals at Victory Ford of Garnett. If the battery is healthy, a diagnostic of your starter and alternator should reveal where your problem lies.
If the problem is not related to the battery, the issue may be with the starter, the ignition switch, spark plugs, fuses, or you
