Handy Car Troubleshooting Tips: Car Won’t Start
Car won’t start? The good news is with a little bit of troubleshooting, you might be able to diagnose your car problems yourself before spending money on a mechanic. If nothing happens when you turn the key, chances are you’ve got an electrical problem, probably an open circuit at the battery posts or cable. Check them. A good whack with a stick or other non-metallic object might reestablish the connection and have you running again. A good idea is to leave the key in the ignition and the radio cranked. If you hear the radio, your car trouble has to do with the last wire you touched.
