Why won't my car start after new battery installed?
Why won't my car start after new battery installed? - 1
Added (1). I recently replaced my old battery in my 2002 Honda Civic. It was going bad. I put in a new battery and all my lights work and everything seems to be fine but when I try to start car, it doesn't do anything. Again everything works great (lights, radio, etc.) but won't even turn over. Before I installed the battery it would turn over but now nothing when I turn the key. Won't even click. ANy ideas?
Because the battery isn't hooked up.
This is likely one of those "sidepost mounts". If you don't get that bolt in there just right you wil not get a good connection. Or in your case, just good enough to run the lights. Take the cables back off, scrub the cable end & bolt with a wire brush, reinstall.
- 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
- Have a 2003 Honda Rebel, won't start (no power) after it rained, I charged the battery, still nothing? Cold end is a little corroded but nothing serious, has been starting up before the rain. Suggestions? And it should be dry.
- Fog light stopped working after installed LED light? Hi, I have a 2013 Honda Fit and recently installed the led headlight on my car, but my fog light stopped working. Anyone know why and how to fix it? I'm assuming the fog light and headlight are in the same circuit so once I installed the led the voltage changed?
- Why won't my car won't start after putting in gas? I have a 2007 civic, 80,000 miles, about a year old battery. Yesterday after I filled up the gas tank my car wouldn't start. Waited about 1 minute and it started fine. This had happened about 4 months ago (I had it checked at Honda) and they said it was okay. But today I went a short distance (15 minutes from home left the car for about 5) and my car didn't want to start. What could it be?
