When i turn the key on my 08 honda civic it just clicks but i let my battery charge all day. Any solutions?
Solutions? OK. First of all, this in the Honda section, not "honda." Please capitalize the brand and model names of cars much like you name is Tyler Dean and not "tyler dean." Third grade grammar lessons covered this requirement. Same for the pronoun, I. I can't see the attraction of writing incorrectly for convenience. Since you know about batteries let me address the battery in your smartphone. What happens when the battery runs down? Yes, you charge it. Next, what do you know about the structure of batteries? The one in your phone is tiny, has no liquid and has materials that are excited by the charging device to "store" power. Agreed? The 12 volt battery in all cars is a different animal. It is ancient technology even with the modern materials and manufacturing process. There are plates inside each cell that sacrifice, that donate, electrons. There's an acid solution, sulfuric acid, if I remember correctly, that facilitates the "storage" of electrons. So far, so good? Yes? Car batteries are magic devices. They work in 130 degree weather or -20 degree weather. They take vibrations and g-forces as cars turn and a few more other thing too complex for a normal conversation. Therefore, after so many years and so many start cycles, one or more of the cells, typically the closest to the positive and negative poles, fail. The battery will test to 12 volts but the amperage is very low. While the average life cycle of new batteries can be five to six years, they can fail at any time. Mr. Dean, if the battery is not providing enough electrons to power up the electrical system of the vehicle and when engaged, the electric motor known as the starter, then, the service life of the battery has been reached. The evidence is clear. Now, to be all encompassing, at times there are electrical issues that can drain a battery. Since kids with cars, specially males, wish to turn their four wheels into concert auditoriums, the installation, often improperly, of audio components that demand more electrons than what the alternator can send, will cause the battery to fail. IF there are no other issues then all you do is go and buy a new battery, a reputable brand one, not from Walmart, with enough cranking power for the vehicle and replace, and recycle, the dead one. Very simple as to the principle. Much like a flat tire. You do not ask why it went flat. You replace or repair it. Agreed? Therefore, this ends my presentation. Off you go to buy a new battery. And please, avoid Slanglish and write well and correctly. It shall serve you must better than the alternative.
Check the oscillation adjustment screw on the bendix
If the battery is shot, you can charge it till the cows come home; no start. You need to start there. Check to make sure terminals are clean and tight at connection points. I'd get the battery tested for a start; then the charging system. Last may be an short somewhere outside the charging system.
- 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
- 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
- If my 92 honda key isn't working, can I replace just the part where the key goes in, or do I have to do more? They are telling me that with installation, it will be like $300 at least, My friend just had the same problem, but in an much older pick up, but she said they just replaced a small part where they ket goes in?
- My 1997 Honda CR-V won't start. It clicks rapidly when I turn the ignition? I know it could be a bad battery, but what else could be causing this? Maybe a bad starter or altinator?
