Why Does My Car Not Start?
How to Tell If It’s a Battery or an Alternator Problem?
Is your car refusing to start? In most cases, onset problems are caused by either a dying or dead battery or a faulty alternator. Your battery can die for a variety of reasons:
If you doubt that your battery is dead or dying, you should try to jump-start your car. If your car starts, the battery is the culprit. You should test your battery to find out how much life is left in it and to determine if the battery needs to be replaced.
If a jump-start does not solve the issue, or if your car does not show these symptoms, it’s possible that your problems are due to a bad alternator. Indicators of a faulty alternator include:
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, and your vehicle doesn’t start or stop after it’s jump-started, you may have trouble because your alternator is failing to recharge your battery. It’s best to bring your vehicle in for an alternator inspection so that your vehicle can be repaired before the problem occurs.
If your dashboard has a bright battery warning sign, it doesn’t necessarily mean that there is an issue with your battery. This light can also identify that there’s a problem with your car’s electrical system. If the voltage for your alternator falls below its required capacity, the battery warning light will turn on.
Your car’s battery produces an electrical charge that allows your car to start. After your car is started, the alternator sends back an electrical current, which charges your battery while your car is running. This electricity not only starts your car but also helps to power all the electronics in your car. Al Sadiq Garage can inspect your vehicle and get to the bottom of the problem.
