A car that won't start can be caused by many different problems from low fuel pressure to no spark. In this case, I have no clue what the problem is and I go though my methodology to figure out the problem. (Spoiler alert) It ends up being a bad battery which is probably the most common no start problem.

Note: Make sure you check the manufacture date of the battery. A lot of times batteries sit on the shelf and which decreases their age and you will need to replace the battery a lot sooner.

@AndrejBizjak_Si 8 лет назад

Hey, Chris! Turning on headlights and dimming of the control board indicators is not a necessary the checkmark for bad battery. Some wehicles have this dimming functionality! Also as you mentioned the specialized tester shows the correct status only if the battery is fully charged. You brought a discharged battery to the store to test - which means that te tester has more than 70% chance to wrongly detect a dead battery. As an electritian I must stress out this missing checkmark: Before you get to the store to test the battery, do charge it! If the charged battery show a decreased value of CCA and other tested parameters, than the battery needs to be replaced. Thank You, for your contribution to expanding public knowledge.

Just a few KISS methods I've seen in my line of work. Check the battery cables to see if they are clean and tight. Have had a few occasions where that happens. Even had a woman whose husband used zip ties to hold the negative cable on. Also had an incident where a woman had her steering wheel locked. Simply turn the key and steering wheel at the same time. Lastly, I had a customer that hit something in the road and broke the bushing loose on her transmission shifter. Plenty more stuff but just some other things to consider.

Happened to me a couple of weeks ago (what you experienced in the first thirty seconds of your video). Obviously, it was time to replace the battery (on a Tuesday). Come Thursday and the alternator went out, so I head to get that replaced on my 2003 Honda Civic EX Coupe. On Friday, the battery light began flickering on my dash panel after lunch, and over the weekend it was getting worse, so I likely had encountered a problem with the charging system. Took it back to the mechanic on Monday and it took them a couple of days to troubleshoot the problem. It ended up being a faulty alternator from O'Reilly's that had been installed the previous Thursday, so likely the voltage regulator was the faulty part within the alternator. Sometimes it pays to do research and consult with a mechanic to diagnose serious issues (thought it may just be something as simple as a faulty alternator). Need to change out my air filter and cabin air filter this week before I forget. Also learned how to jack up my daughter and will change her oil in 2k miles after watching ChrisFix's tutorial on that. :)

@gortnewton4765 4 года назад

@MrWalko 6 лет назад

If you think it's the battery, you should also check the fluid levels in the battery. Low fluid will prevent the battery holding charge. You can top them up with de-mineralised water and then charge them. This will fix them most times.

Hey Chris! One month update, new battery is in the car, alternator is all good. Emissions control is also fixed. She starts like a dream and everything from clogged windshield washer lines to air conditioning has been properly repaired. Now all that’s left is a “Service engine soon” light. I’m so happy with this car and it’s in its final stages of being a perfect, healthy, maintained vehicle for us! We are looking at a 2007 Cadillac Escalade with 173k miles and there are problems with the manifold bolts (common problem on these trucks) but when I check under the vehicle, I’m telling you this was the most clean anti-rust frame I’ve seen in a while. My dads 09’ suburban can’t say the same. I hope we get it, it’s only $11,500 with minor fixes to be done to it. And lastly, I want to thank you for all your help with car repair, care, and diagnostic videos.

Sharing my experience with this same issue. Trying to start the car (Honda CR-V 2002 AT), all that happens is there is a single click sound coming from somewhere, and no cranking takes place. Tried multiple times, and the same just happens. I checked the terminal connections in the battery if they were loose; nope, they were nice and tight. Tried replacing the battery with a new one (since the old one had a history of being totally discharged a couple of months prior); the issue still persists. The problem all along was a blown fuse for the fuel pump. The fuse box was below the steering column. Good thing there were spare fuses with the correct ampere rating in the fuse box under the hood. Replacing the said fuse fixed my issue.

It’s funny to think that he probably should replace the battery again soon

@fastidioushandyman901 8 лет назад

Batteries actually last longer in the cold. It's the heat that kills them. Cold killing batteries is a myth. You just don't notice them dying until the cold because the cold weather requires more power to start the engine. The colder you keep a battery, the better, unless they freeze. That's another reason that if you charge a battery it is better to do it at a lower amperage as it doesn't heat the battery up as much.

@chrisfix 8 лет назад

+Call of Drewski thanks a lot! Good to know!

@MrNamegame 8 лет назад

+Call of Drewski Another thing that can kill a battery is not having a charge on it when it's in the cold...I bought a Suzuki Swift a little while back that had sat for 2 years, and the interior light drained the battery. This meant it went through 2 winters with no juice, nothing flowing, and therefore the battery froze rather easily and would not accept a charge when I went to go check it out. To be more specific, we went to charge the battery overnight and pull started it (due to bad starter) and got one weak combustion out of it followed by the lights on the dash all going out, whereas the car immediately started with a replacement battery that they hadn't charged for over a year but still was holding one.

Call of Drewski I agree. It's more like keeping the batteries cool. I keep my flashlight batteries in the refrigerator to keep it cool so it will stay fresh longer.

Seven years, dang. Mine lasted a decade (2011 model Actyon Sports, the only pickup truck made by South Korean car manufacturer) and it still manages to start the engine in -20C (negative four degrees in Fahrenheit or something after a week after last engine running). I already flushed break fluid, engine oils like 8 times, power steering fluid, differential oil (Koreans call it axle oil tho) and even blinker fluid (lmao) thanks to you. It's time to swap out the battery now.
