Car wont start?

Post by JacksonChater »

So I got my car register just yesterday and I jump into it this morning for a rip around town and it doesn't start, like the ignition just clicks but all the other electrics work fine
I'm thinking the alternator has died

Battery, check/clean/tighten your battery terminals.
Also check your earth to body connection, just follow the black negative wire from the battery.

Also check if you left any lights on.
Parkers, headlights, interior light, or even left the door/s or boot open.

Also check the water level in your battery

If it's serviceable that is.

And if you top it up then use demineralized or distilled water.
I fix cars.
