Car will not start but battery was just replaced?
Having some trouble getting the car to start so I replaced the battery, bought from auto parts store. Came in, installed the battery, it turned on fine, then went out a little bit latter to turn it on and it wouldn't start. Nothing came on or happened. What should I do? No time or money for a mechanic.
It's a 2002 Honda Accord with 200,000 miles +
You more than likely have a parasitic drain on the battery. Any light that is on or any relay that is stuck will run the battery down. Check all the lights including the brake lights. Put your windows down and see if they go right back up due to a stuck relay.
Possible the battery was just not charged enough on the drive home. Jump it, then go for an hour long drive in the country…
Battery cables clean and snugly fastened?
- I let my car sit for 3 months and the battery died. I tried to jump it but it would start? I Tried jumping my car by connecting the jumper cable plugs to it for like 1 min and few seconds… Should I keep the jumper cables in longer or do I just need to buy a new battery. I drive a honda civc 2008. *Wouldn't
- I have just changed the battery in my honda cbr1000rr after one month and it not firing up? It a honda cbr1000rr 2008 model. The bike's battery has been dead for more then a month… And it was parked in the sun for two months. The battery is good now but the bike won't start. It just keeps trying but it doesn't.
- Bought a 1985 Honda inspector kid told me it needed new battery but started with jump got new battery and it was dead next day? Pretty sure its the alternator just wanted some second opinions also I got the bike for 600 dollars you guys think thats a good deal
- After replacing our car battery, our remote starter just turns and turns without actually starting the car? My wife has a 2010 Honda Fit and we just had to replace the battery. We got a remote starter installed from Best Buy in either 2010 or 2011. But after the recent battery replacement, the remote starter responds by just cranking and not starting. It does like three sets of cranking before stopping. I don't remember the brand of remote starter, but anyone have any insight of what I need to do?
