My car does not have power and wont start
The car ran fine 5 hours before it died. l went to turn it on later that
night and the power locks worked and l put my key in the ignition and both
dashboard and exterior lights came on l then went on to turn the car on and
everything went dead, no engine starting noise or anything. l tried again
and no lights of any sort turned on...i had to lock all the doors manually
as there was no power. The battery was changed three months ago, and it was
raining when the car died? Any thoughts? Could it be a blown fuse?
i will tell you its definatly NOT the alternator. The
alternator only runs when the car runs, so it doesnt make sense in this
situation (unless ur car was randomly shutting off while you were driving
it). I'de get the battery checked out. Just because it was charged, doesnt
mean its a good battery. The reason all the lights went out when you
cranked the key is because the starter tries to draw a large amount of
current. If the battery doesnt have enough juice, it cant run all the lights & the starter at the same time. If the battery checks out good, then its probably the starter itself.
sounds like a poor battery terminal connection. check the
battery post and see if there is any corrosion. also wiggle the battery
cables and see if they're loose. good luck!
Check the connections at the battery. Turn your key to the on
position and your lights on and then wiggle each wire one at a time and
see if one makes every thing come on if it does take it off and put it
back on. If that doesn't work jump it off and take it back to where you
got the battery. I have seen new batteries go bad sooner than that. It
defiantly is a connection or the new battery
check the alternator
