It is pretty annoying to get in your car and find that it won’t start. However, several things could cause this. Fortunately, some may be easy for you to resolve on your own.

Here are some common problems that might help you avoid a trip to our repair shop!

Dead Battery

Your car battery may have gone dead. Unfortunately, this is common in warmer climates. When you moved from up north you got our beautiful South Florida warm weather. Hopefully it isn’t much of a price to pay for having your car battery not last as long. Keep in mind, it’s better than when you had to shovel snow.

If you turn the key and instead of hearing the engine try to start you hear a clicking noise then it is almost certain that your battery is dead. However, if you have jumper cables you may be able to start the car. Plus, your alternator will keep in running once it is started. However, if it won’t start up again then you’ll need get the alternator replaced. If you can jump start the car then drive to us and we will quickly install a new battery. Plus, we’ll check the alternator and electrical system.

Corroded Battery Terminals

If you turn the key and you don’t hear a thing then it is more likely that the battery terminals are covered with corrosion. Of course, this is not a big deal. Also, it’s pretty common when you live in high humidity, near the ocean. If you have a wire brush or some other stiff bristled brush you can clean the terminals and connectors and see if your car starts.

Car won't turn over

Sometimes you can hear the engine cranking and it seems like it should start but it won’t. If you keep cranking then you’ll be able to tell that your battery is getting weak. Of course, it is possible that you just ran out of gas. However, if it isn’t a lack of fuel that keeps it from starting then maybe it is time to get the fuel injectors cleaned. Additionally, one possibility is that there could be some problem with the ignition system. Either way, just give us a call and we will help to get you on the road again.
