car won't start but has power

What to do if your Car won't Start

 Hey, guys frz auto electrician here these days I am gonna show you one of all the foremost common issues Anybody who owns an automobile will face. and that is after your head to begin your car, (Engine turning over) It just will not start I believe you'll be able to hear that My battery positively sounds low hump an additional time I need you to listen... (Engine turning over slowly, not starting) currently, this could be some completely different things, I am gonna bear the steps that I'd unremarkably want to attempt to discern what the matter is Given, what you only saw thus that you will get a touch little bit of background information after I head to begin the automobile... Well, now it won't even crank. however, when I visited to start the car 

it had been cranking. thus you recognize that the starter is engaging, you recognize that the engine is spinning I drove this car last night, it has been lying in my driveway, and also the battery went dead. whereas I used to be driving, I didn't see any battery light-weight return on if you see battery light come on, It is your battery or your generator that is not charging I did not see associate degrees battery light-weight return on. This was a long factor The automobile will not begin now it got all the way down to thirty degrees Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit last night, and batteries detest the cold, thus it's creating me suppose that 

it's a battery drawback Also if you check out the clock right now, it is not twelve o'clock it's 2:30 on most cars after you lose battery to power your clock can reset the twelve o'clock so we all know we tend to lose battery power currently what I am reaching to do with the car in the run position, I am reaching to flip the Headlights on and you'll be able to see shut the headlights, turn it on, the dimming of the lights and also the beeping are all indicators that we've got a dying battery these are all simply very little take a look at that you just may do while not a multimeter before you go take it somewhere just to quite get some data on what is 

going on let's go check up on the battery and see what is up. At this time I need you to suppose the case and take a guess to envision what you think that the matter relies on everything that we've gone through thus far. thus let's go take a glance at our battery and simply see if there is something that stands out this battery is seven years previous that is one thing smart to notice batteries last on average four years so this is often nearly double the time of the battery if we glance at the negative ground you'll be able to see it's pretty clear there's some crystallization right down there so I would clean the negative battery terminal you would be 

shocked on times with the negative battery terminal dirty that is the reason why automobile will not begin any reason why you won't get power to move lights and stuff so that is positively one thing to take into account so the positive terminal. That appearance pretty smart it may use some improvement too however there is nothing there that basically makes Pine Tree State suppose that's the positive battery terminal looks pretty traditional if you do not shrewdness previous your battery is there ought to be a sticker either on prime of the battery or on the aspect thus here's wherever the date would be you understand you'll be able to see here are the months here's the years in my case you see none of them are marked off, therefore, the one who put 

in this battery did not say once the battery was purchased and installed unremarkably you'd have a marker or in this case I believe these individuals off so let's simply say in the Gregorian calendar month of 2005 you bought this battery and the way to put in so the April mark so the quantity five mark are marked off I believe this one encompasses a 3-year guarantee it says 3-year warranty so generally are prorated at the moment so you get some a refund if it's like 5 years and it goes bed either means you get the concept that is a check to envision once your battery was purchased and put in which may assist you to discern if you think that it would 

be the battery like I aforesaid seven years could be a very long time for battery I am pretty certain it's the battery due to that so we would like to travel begin the engine it did flip over turned over terribly slowly it did not sound correct it gave the impression of it had been really operating it was having a tough time and that is typical of a nasty battery thus {without associate degreey|with none} instrumentation simply listening to things just doing a little diagnostic stuff checking the clock in the radio paying attention to hear the engine turning over ensuring everything is really participating hearing that the starter feels like it's going slow just 

by hearing stuff like that we do not even ought to use a multimeter or any special equipment to urge an idea of what the matter is currently if you do not have a multimeter next factor you may do is simply jump-start your automobile battery and charge it up no matter you would like to try and do to urge charge into this and begin your automobile so reassess to your native machine components store they will check your battery at no cost and they'll truly place a load on that and they'll tell you the batteries unhealthy and then they'll additionally check your generator for unengaged to tell you if the alternator is what is inflicting the battery problem there 

could be a slight likelihood that you just may have a draw a parasitic draw which suggests one thing is victimization battery power whereas the engines off and using an excessive amount of battery power thus long your automobile goes dead however I do not suppose that is the state of affairs here but since I do own a multimeter I actually have it set to twenty DC volts I am reaching to flip it on smart at my 2 leads here you'll be able to see where it's at zero volts I am gonna go black to black | red to red ten volts that should be 

12.6 or anyplace around 12.6 thus this simply additional confirms that our battery is possibly the perpetrator once you are testing with the multimeter you want to create certain that your projection here is on this battery head and it's nice and clean you would like an honest affiliation if this is often all dirty and greasy and you set this on there you may not get any voltage or you might have weak voltage so you'll be able to see the highest of my battery post is incredibly clean I actually have a good connection and that goes for the black 

negative aspect and for the Red positive side, each is clean and prepared to go. thus clearly this does not cowl everything I may go twenty minutes regarding this. i am pretty certain it is an unhealthy battery i am gonna go jump this and I am gonna go take a ride to the shop so we're reaching to see if they really take a look at the battery and they will ensure if it's an unhealthy battery or not they are doing it all for free it's simply worthwhile so let's go see what they tell America (Engine flipping over) (Engine starting) (Engine 

running) currently, because the automobile is taken off after I use the battery jumper you may hear it truly still wag on the other hand finally there is enough juice which jumper to urge started and since I am not obtaining battery light-weight because the car running and that I mean I could turn my headlights on and that i still will not get the battery light I could add the blower motor here turn it up all the means still no battery light. The car did not stall thus I don't suppose it's an associate degree generator drawback

I think it is an unhealthy battery. And once more I am simply browsing things that it'd be with great care that you simply will get a thought of the way to do these tests while not even employing a multimeter. you'll air the aspect of the road with no tools in any respect and be doing these very little easy tests just to see things out so let's withdraw have your native components store check the battery and we'll see however bad this battery truly is I am here at the local motorcar parts store and they are going to check out our battery for me. simply gonna, connect this load tester place a load on the battery We're obtaining an output signal of the 

results ok so even as we have a tendency to thought we'd like to replace the battery the voltage was sensible that is sensible as a result of we just ran the automobile for a quarter-hour to urge to the shop that was thirteen volts the cold cranking amps ought to are 850 however it had been 315 so it aforementioned the battery failing and it should get replaced so even though we're aiming to go inside and they are aiming to show the USA what battery that we {want} simply want to double check on the battery therefore where it'll tell you the way several cold cranking amps right there it says there are 850 cold cranking amps. 1,000 regular amps 

and therefore the size of the battery is 65n just got in from paying and by the time I even go back there have already got the new battery in and I can go so let's have a look at it if she starts up. Starts up sort of a different car. Nice and straightforward and that is exactly how I undergo troubleshooting a 'no start' condition. during this case, we have a tendency to have a nasty battery. however, currently, you bought to ascertain how I am going through step by step to undertake to spot wherever the drawback is. Is it the alternator? Is it the battery? is that the starter engaging? therefore hopefully this video is helpful. If it was, 

keep in mind to grant it a thumbs up! Also, if you are not s subscriber, think about subscribing. The tip for this video is, to grab a marker Normally, on the batteries you will have a month and a year. This one doesn't have it and you may be able to mark off what month and year you bought the battery and you are doing get a 3-year assurance additionally, batteries Last around four years so when four years you may wish to get your battery checked with the cold cranking amps such as you saw what we have a tendency to did however since this does not have an issue to mark it off, Right here I

 am going to simply place the Gregorian calendar month fifteen I am going to put it up here, too therefore now I do know I purchased this battery in January 2015. And this video is going to possess 2 tips. Since we've got a whole new battery, we wish to stay these posts as rust-free as potential which will provide the USA with the simplest affiliation here. Normally, I would suggest mistreatment one thing like WD-40 is everyone has WD forty you simply spray a touch bit on there and you are sensible to travel however I got something even higher this stuff is named get some 1,000 it is spray stuff it lasts even longer than wd-40 just get a little bit on there rather like that. Get out positive terminal here and spray that down too currently our terminals are protected and they will keep clean and corrosion free and you are sensible to travel
