Q: I bought a 2012 Ford Escape. About three years later, it would not start. Went to Auto Zone and bought a new battery. About four week later, same thing. I went back to Auto Zone and they gave me a new battery. Three weeks later, same thing. Took it to a local garage and no faults were stored in the computer. They took down starter and cleaned it. No problem after that.
T.B., Allentown, Pa.
A: What occurred is that they cleaned the connections. Dirty, corroded connections create resistance that wonât allow enough current to pass to run the starter. I have found that checking the ground connections often works wonders, too.
