When your car engine fails to come to life, your first thought might be a dead battery. Although that is a reasonable thought and a legitimate culprit to your engine failing, there are other reasons to consider why your engine won’t start.
Empty tank
Before you jump to the conclusion of an engine component failure, take a good look at your fuel gauge. Your car not starting might be the result of human error. An empty fuel tank can be the cause of your stalled car.
Corroded connections
Your battery’s lack of charge isn’t the only reason why it can cause your engine to stall. If its terminals are corroded or dirty or covered in white or green gunk, your battery won’t have the proper connection to work well. Reader’s Digest writer Jeff Bogle suggests carefully removing the clamps (as the crud is acidic) and using a terminal cleaning brush to clean the posts.
Dead batteries and snow damage to underneath the car are just two issues drivers need to look out for.
COLUMBIA â Recent snow events can damage cars, and those bills can rack up even after the snow stops. If a vehicle sits enough and the battery is low on charge, it can freeze out in the cold weather, Devin Kelley, owner of All-Star Automotive said. And once the cold is gone, somebody goes to drive the vehicle and the battery s not working properly.
If drivers don t notice the dying battery symptoms, the dead battery can result in a towing serviceâwhich can be costly.Â
