 Re: wont start
Give us more info so we can help you.
Any check light? Anything new that youve done to the car?
Has this happen before? Is anything else affected? Was their any symptoms before this?[/quo
there is no check light on all the lights work,windows,seat belts, everything power works. i was driving home making a left and my car just died i pulled it into a parking lot and tried to start it. it seems like its trying to crank and it cant as if has no power. i took a fully charged battery from my girlfriends scion and it just did the same thing. itll power up but it cant turn over. i thought it was terminal loose but its not. i havent done anyhting to the car since i got it it was running fine till it died. it would start up like nothing now its poop. any main fuses i should check? i was looking at the fuses on the +terminal i was wondering if that might be the problem

you can check for blown fuses. Have you recharged the battery? Like you can take it to any autozone/kragen and they can recharge it. If your alt is bad the battery is not being recharged. Also I think they can do free alt inspections. Look for your local ones online and call them if they have those services.

First, clean your battery terminals with one of these:
Then check your spark plugs for spark:
When was the last time you changed your spark plugs? When you turn it over, does the started sound like it's turning good or is it struggling? How old is the gas in your gas tank? Do your console lights dim noticeable when you crank it over?
