When your car won’t start, Tracy’s Automotive can find the cause and repair it to get you going again.
You were planning to take the kids to Tanganyika Wildlife Park over the weekend, but when you got in the car, it would not start. Instead of a fun day at the park, you spent the day chasing down the cause of the problem and trying to get it fixed.
When a car doesn’t start, the immediate conclusion is that the battery is the problem. But a dead battery is not the only reason a car won’t start. You could also have a problem with your alternator. Sometimes it’s hard to tell which one is the cause.
“Using the process of elimination, find the culprit by bypassing the battery’s role and jump-starting your car. If the engine starts but dies immediately, your alternator probably isn’t keeping your battery charged. If a jump starts and keeps your car running, but the car can’t start again off of its own power, a dead battery is likely your answer,” according to Nationwide Insurance.
More specifically, Nationwide says, another clue is whether the car starts again after you’ve cut it off. If the car kept running after being started but won’t start again after being cut off, then it’s likely the battery. If it was the alternator, you might notice your headlights running brighter when you accelerate and dimming when you slow. Similarly, interior lights tend to dim when your alternator is bad.
