Car won't start. Could it be the battery?
When I try to start my car, it makes a noise like its trying to start. But then all the levels on the dashboard (gas, RPMs, etc) jump up & down quickly, and the car doesn't start. It also won't lock, lights don't come on etc. I'm guessing it must be the battery but could it be something else? 2002 ford explorer
Battery is probably bad. No lights and no power locks indicates the battery is too weak. You can get one at a 24 hr Walmart for around $100. (Yeah I said Walmart but their batteries are decent.) Be sure to take your old one in so you don't get charged a $15.00 core fee.
- Why did my car start and die when put into gear? Now it won't start at all? It's a cold winter day (below zero) Car started right up! I let it run for about 2 minutes, I put it in gear and it just died. I figured it's cold out, not real surprising, but when I tried to start it again, it won't start! Turns over fine but engie won't start! Any ideas? 2003 Ford Taurus 3.0L
- Battery light came on in my car and steering wheel locked but the car was still running what could it be? I drive a 1999 Ford Taurus I was pulling out of a parking lot and the battery symbol popped up and my steering wheel locked but the car didn't shut off. I applied the breaks slowly and the battery symbol went away and my steering wheel unlocked. I do believe I have some issues with the "computer" in the car i was wondering if this was the cause
- Car won't crank with a new battery and alternator it has no electrical power what could the problem be? I have a 1998 Ford Ranger XLT that has been running for months when I tried starting it earlier today it would click once then nothing. Now it has no electrical power at all.
- Ford Mustang 2004 car won't start after battery terminal changed? Had my battery in my 2004 ford Mustang changed. The terminal broke and was a little loose, but the car still ran. Today we changed the terminal to the battery and now the car won't start. Every thing was fine earlier with the loose terminal, but when the terminal was changed, the car decides not to start.
