The battery has juice… Have you had the battery tested? Guessing that the battery is good is not helpful… You may want to go to an auto parts store that will check the charging system… Better than just replacing parts
Check the fuses. Get a jump. If the car starts, replace the battery. No start, time for a tow to a garage. Starter has likely failed.
What do you mean by "battery has juice" if the radio works, etc then yes it as ENOUGH to run small items. The starter on the other hand takes 100s - 700 amps not just a part of an amp like the radio.
Just because a few lights work doesn't mean the battery has enough power to start the motor.
Charge the battery with a portable battery charger set to 12 volts, 10 amps for 6 hours. The drive straight to an auto parts store. They test batteries and charging systems for free.
Iof we have ample power for headlights .radio etc and it fails to crank. We may simply have an issue with relay for starter or starter itself packed up. To check we actually do have enough power in battery have we tried a jump start?
do check for broken connections? Corrosion? Loose leads? Blue fuse etc
- 2008 Ford f150 won't even turn over - Battery NOT dead? Hey so my 2008 F150 ran just fine and then suddenly wouldn't start one day. I popped the clutch to get it started and then the next time I tried it started up no problem. That was two days ago and it hasn't started back up since. Battery has plenty of power, once it's running it runs fine. When I turn the key there's nothing, not even the clicking a starter makes with not enough power. I checked the starter solenoid fuses… No luck. Any ideas?
