For starters, make sure the steering wheel isn’t locked. An empty gas tank is another top reason. The gauge might be broken and It’s possible you’re just on “E" with no fuel.
A dead battery is the main or MOST common. The battery is what the car uses to provide electrical power to the entire car and electrical components (e.g. lights, radio, etc.). While the vehicle is running, the alternator charges the battery.
You can test the battery using a multi-meter or by jump starting the car. If the jump start works, then most likely the battery weak and dying, or an alternator that is just having trouble recharging the battery.
The ignition switch carries power from the battery to the car’s components. If there’s no power to the starter motor or ignition system, the engine won't start. One hint is that you get lights, which means the battery is working, but nothing else, then it's the ignition.
A broken starter is another common reason your car won’t start. A starter is an electrical motor that is connected to the battery. It's role is to set the engine (i.e. pistons, crankshaft, etc.) in motion when you turn the ignition switch on. If the starter is bad, the engine will not crank. If you hear a clicking noise when trying start vehicle, a broken starter could be the reason why your car isn't starting.
