I recommend to anyone having continuous unresolved issues with starts to get s HALO BOLT portable jump starter. They work extremely well. I've jump people's cars so many times with this tiny little power supply. Everyone is so amazed when I break it out. And even more amazed when it works. Not mention I also use it for powering my audio equipment now and then. They around $100 on eBay or Amazon. Good luck!
@@flightofthefatman Actually they do have a version that includes an air compressor too, which works very well. Plus, like I said,it powers many things,and can charge phones, etc.
Wife just called about this problem, called her and told her to put it on neutral like you said and it started,thanks for the video. Its happened to me many times i replaced the starter guess it wasnt it bc its happened again. Gonna check that bracket and tighten it
@joeykanakanui4994 😊I don't why my hard headed husband don't listen now I have to probably replace neutral sensor ...because he keeps trying to jump the car without putting it in neutral. Ignition off Put foot on brake Pop it in neutral Then start Ignition It starts everytime. If he does it it doesn't. Now I'm pissed because I just replaced battery, spark plug harness that snapped, rethreaded the spark plug well because #4 popped out. Now I gotta replace egr and recheck o2 sensors up/down stream because it's too lean system bank 1 guzzling up too much fuel where I have to have a back up of gas with me or I won't make it home. Now this fool got my battery fucked up. 😒 and I'm on a bike to get around until I can get under the hood without disturbance and fix 2000 Ford expedition of 266k miles. I don't want to sell it for parts I don't have the money for another car rnn. Geesh 😢😢
I have a 2000 excursion that wont start but i can put into neutral. But it atill doesnt start. This is an old trick from when i was a kid. @moneykiddtv5316
EasyAutoFix, you are absolutely correct about shifting into the neutral position to start my nissan wheneve I cannot crank and cannot start. Many mechanics do not know this. Only 1 mechanic that I happened to stumble upon. He showed me this trick. Most of the time I can start my car using this trick, but sometimes I cannot then I would have another car jumpstart my battery then I can start. May I ask why this is the case? Why using either 1 of these 2 methods of starting my car works? Thank you.
Thanks a lot! Ive been working on my car for a good minute trying to figure out whats going on, good battery, new starter, no bad fuses, good wiring, but it wont start in park, only neutral
My 2001 SAAB cabriolet started playing up three years ago. Intermittent no start. Happened about once a month. Wife not pleased. Usually cleared after 20 mins. but not always. First fix was to put two wires through to the starter relay and fire up with a standard 9V battery. 100% Eventually tracked the fault down to a corroded terminal on the wiring loom connection to the bottom of the ignition switch. I had the whole thing apart and saw it. However one can just take off the plastic behind the key and squirt WD 40 into the little hole in the back of the aluminium casing which the key hole is mounted on. Strange that such a useful hole was put there........Plan to keep car until I am 100 (and it's 50 )
I have a 05 RX330 that won't crank or start, very frustrating everyone keeps saying it's the starter but you name so many more options. I need my car fixed ASAP for Dr appt and my son plays football also I'm his personal Uber driver and crippled w/o a car. I feel like someone should be able to come and at least check some fuses. Hate being a single mom times like this.
Thank you so much. I was in a fix and came to RUclips for helpful tips and I found this video. I tried the neutral suggestion and boom, my car started. So happy I can get home with my car this night. Is the neutral switch faulty or why did that happened?
This can also be a problem if your car won’t start in park but will start in neutral. It should start in both gears at all times and failure to start in one or the other shows the safety switch may need replacing. Just keep that in mind.
Hoping the neutral start trick works. Turned my truck off last night and then went to move it 5 minutes later and nothing when I turned the key. Battery is good, haven't checked fuses or replaced the starter and I'm hoping I don't have too lol
I'm glad my dad taught me that at 16. 🙂 Right now I'm trying to help properly diagnose & fix my dad's vehicle. Same principle that applies to anything in life - start with the simplest, easiest & most obvious things first when trouble-shooting, then gradually move on to more complicated, difficult to access, or more expensive possibilities. (I'm so glad my car problems were so often a fuse or switch, & I learned to be a self-reliant girl from an early age! ...like about 3. lol)

@@portallama Well the entire dashboard lights up but the car just doesnt start sometimes. Then after maybe 10-15 minutes and multiple tries it just starts?

Hey friend. Not sure you’ll see this but my 2012 Ram 1600 has been having starting issues for a while now. I’ve replaced starter, battery, tried to start this morning and would not start? Going to check fuses and try to start in neutral when I get out of work today? It buzzed this morning and showed a “”no fuse” error? Never seen that before?
So I have a question... Earlier this year (after my previous car was totaled), I bought 2011 Honda Fit. I would start just fine most of the time, but then this one day it just wouldn't crank at all. I had to towed to the mechanic shop that I use. They said it was just a loose connection (or something akin to that, I'm not the most car savvy person around), fixed it and it worked fine ever since.... until today (it was about 6 months between the last issue and the one today). I went to a store this morning, and when I came back out and got in the car, it wouldn't start. I tried a few times, and it was always this no crank condition. I called for roadside assistance for a tow. But as I was waiting, I tried again to start the car, and that time it started just fine. I canceled the roadside assistance, and I dropped the car off at the mechanic shop that I use (they won't be able to look at it until Monday). Any idea what the issue might be? It's weird that it just wouldn't crank and then a little while later (and after I tried a few times), it suddenly started again. The battery in the car is new. I had that changed out shortly after I got it. So that shouldn't be the issue.
I have the no crank no start issue, however I cannot get the lever out of park, i turn the key and just nothing, thing is i messed about by some wires and then this happened but everything seems fine by the wires, i checked all fuses all good, the only thing I've notice is that usually my audi will show the gears PRNDS at the bottom but its not showing it anymore and the OBD scanner is unable to connect to my car for some reason, some advice would be greatly appreciated, great vid btw.
Can't find any similar issue that i have. I can unlock the steering -> turn it into "on" position where all the lights come up. But i can't turn key to "start" position anymore.. (i usually could turn it after some attempts but now, after months, it won't let me) Can a electrical issue cause a "physical wall, preventing the key from turning"?
Hello I own a dune buggy before this issue I brought a new starter and a relay the buggy worked for about a month and now won’t crank the battery has charge fuses are okay too
The most common problem is the ignition switch electric plug needs cleaned with CRC electronic cleaner. Common problem with GMC wire plugs carbon buildup. Cold and humidity also affect it randomly. Spray CRC electronic cleaner on the connection to the ignition switch found at end of the Key cylinder housing, you can find access under the steering wheel may have to remove some plastic shroud.
Ended up being the fuse for the computer why my car wouldn't crank over. Acted like I did not have the clutch pushed in even tho I did. Glad it was a simple fix 🥰
Hi there 👋, could you tell me if you think my car has a starter motor problem The Car wont start, all interior electrics work, When i turn ignition key to position 1 dash lights up and flickers alot then goes off when i turn it to start the car loses all power completely with no attempt to crank over, Power then comes back after a few minutes or if i disconnect/reconnect battery I have replaced battery I connected a jump lead😊 wire from battery earth to engine block and this made it possible for ignition lights to stay on on the dash i turned the key to start and it cranked over a tiny bit for half a second. I could hear the starter trying to move but then all power was lost again To me it seems the car is drawing too much power then resetting itself
04 explorer 4.0. No crank no start. Anti theft light is solid. When I turn ignition to On position, I hear a sound from under the hood. It sounds like it's coming from where the air intake meets the engine. It only lasts about 1.5-2 seconds. When I actually try to turn the ignition fully, nothing at all happens.
So couple days ago my 2006 Honda civic ex has no crank no start left me stranded at a gas station, got it towed at my house & it’s parked in the meantime until I figure out the problem lol so I tried to shift it to Nuetral so I can push it & the shifter wouldn’t move at it was stuck in park so I had to push the emergency lever to Nuetral, also the Park light or any of the gears don’t light on the dashboard, what could be the problem? Also I check this morning to see if it might start & when I put the key in & left it for couple of seconds the key immobilizer started to flash on the dash board, could that be the problem? Any ideas? I’m thinking my car is not reading my key so could be my ignition switch or it could be the safety switch. Also to add on to this I already put new Battery, New starter, New Fuel pump.
Were entering Winter in Maryland.If you go out in the cold and it doesn't start.Thats the most likely reason.Mine was 4 years old and just died.My cold Amps dropped to below 50.So if you're wondering why it worked fine and just stopped.
My problem is a no crank no start and the key FOB isn’t locking/unlocking the car, got it to run twice but now it’s been months and it’s killing me. Any suggestions?
Also, if you have a 26yo Expedition like myself and your truck does not fully stay in park because of the spring inside the instrument panel, it won't start 🤦♀️ Oh the joys of not being able to afford a newer used vehicle.
It's Sept 12, my starter is good,when I try to start,NOTHING!!! Bad thing is it won't go into neutral to check the neutral switch. Any suggestions on how to get in neutral? It went 1time then no more.
Hello I appreciate Your guidance and Creativity I have 02 Clk 430 no Crank no Start , will try Your advice, Please can you tell me if my 02 CLK has Neautral Safety Switch ? Thk you leo
i just did about 30 things to this car alternator water pump battery ballast resistor started the car last night it ran great ! now i have all my lights turn the key and its dead ! tested neutral safety switch nothing! starter is testing fine starter switch everything test good and no power is going to starter when i turn the key !!
jfc... I got my car towed because it wouldn't start for me. I think the gear was nudged slightly into reverse the whole time. It's starting up with no problem now. Thank you for this video, I feel a little silly but I'm also glad I didn't bring it to a mechanic or start replacing parts.
I'm having the same issue, ford mustang 2012. Took it to ford to replace starter relay and didn't fix my issue -$400 down the drain. I don't know who to actually take it to so they can get to the root of the issue. Bought it from a used dealer as is 2 months ago. Frustrating
Last month my car started but the moment I put my foot on the gas pedal it would turn off and the battery light turned on. Not because of a bad alternator but because the car was losing power and when I started back up it started up just fine. No issues but the moment I'll put my foot in gas where the reversing or driving it'll shut off. It turned out that it was a sensor. MAP sensor. I also recently replaced the Fuel pump and fuel filter as well as a crankshaft sensor and camshaft sensor. I also replaced the air filter and spark plugs. Luckily I have all of that fixed and replaced on my car. Runs good now and it no longer turns off while driving in it.
After replacing the fuel pump in my Jeep grand cherokee laredo 3.7 WK- Im now having a problem with a vapor lock and my new pump is making a ringing/humming noise off and on-is there a way to fix it with a inline check valve or inline filter of some sort. I have to release pressure on the fuel rail to re-crank it after it runs for more than 20 minutes/ which is a possible fire risk.
Hi ...i have question there is a time my car not start ...what i did i put the shift gear to neutral. Then is start. My question is is that ok and safe or there is issue that need to addess because sometime my car is not start while is in park mode. Thanks in advance.
My mercedes says (car must be on level) does it cause no crank cause i replaced ecu and it didnt work, but everything else works fine in my s210 t model.
Today my car no crank no started and I called a tow truck and after waiting 45 minutes and still no tow truck the car started and ran fine. It’s a hot/warm start issue causing no crank no start and I just changed the ECT. Changed the starter a year ago for the same issue (it’s gotten worse over the year). So frustratingggg it was so hot today.
I’m having the EXACT PROBLEM 2010 cord ranger…. In addition the instrument panel lights start dimming and / or flickering…. That tells me there’s an electrical problem, but where in the world do I even start looking? 🤦. PLEASE SOMEONE Give ME A STARTING POINT
I Have A Question Mines Is All The Above Issues But Mines Won Start In Neutral And It Wont Bypass Crank Either To Start The Car Ive Changed The Battery And Starter And Moved Fuses Around Still Nothing When I Crank So Im Tryna Figure Out What May Be The Issue Still At This Point
Have you tried the neutral safety switch? This can also be a problem if your car won’t start in park but will start in neutral. It should start in both gears at all times and failure to start in one or the other shows the safety switch may need replacing.
My saturn vue just started this i was just driving it turned it off and when i went to crank it it was trying to turn over but didn't now its not even trying to turn over no sound any answers or suggestions?
New starter new battery, no flickering, relay is good, will try to start if jumper used on relay, starts 97% of the time. It seems if I shift into park too fast without the steering wheel aligned then it won't start. No security light either.
Been trying to prepare mine. Already repaired it. These were the main issues. The starter, starter relay, the fuel pump being bad, Clogged fuel line, Bad battery, bad alternator, car being left on drive. Bad IBS(intelligent battery sensor). After fixing all that it finally turned on. Cleared the check engine light to by cleaning my intake and exhaust solenoids.
was having symptoms similar to the neutral safety switch but did not realize this workaround. went back down to try to start my Lexus GS460 again in neutral, but she started right up in Park without issue... Originally the issue was a completely dead battery, replaced the battery and she still would not start as above, assuming it might be fuses ordered some fuses online and did other stuff, tried again after about 4 hours(after watching this video) and it started without issue... Potentially the neutral switch got locked when the old battery was in/when i tried to jump start it, just took a while for the car to reset post having a good battery I guess.
My truck won’t start I all ready replaced the battery starter Clean all grounds Battery termals Could it be the alternator and the ignition switch Or the Transmission Switch or what it was called I just hope it’s not the motor I know it was rebuilt Before I got it
I have a issue starting my Porsche panamera it's been sitting for 5 to 6 months during the winter and when I try to turn it on I get a clicking sound My battery volts is 11.03 I tried to boost it it didn't work I was told it was a starter issue but I'm wondering should I get a new battery first or can I test the relay and everything with this low battery since I can't turn the car on.
2002 camry, 240k miles. Cut off while driving, no crank no start, starter does not click. Dash lights and headlights on. No blown fuses, no visibly burnt relays. Any thoughts?
I have a 1981 Chevy g3 van and that happened to me for months & I would get stuck in the middle of traffic & in the middle of a busy 5 way traffic light during rush hour. For my vehicle, it was simply the ignition switch. Replaced and for the last 8 months everything has been good till last night and now it’s dashboard and all cab electrical items are good but no start/no crank. I tried to use jumper cables w/another car to no avail. Electric battery jumper @100v:fail. Battery is at 13.0v so don’t think it has anything to do with the battery. Going to check starter relay next. Did you ever find out what the issue was with your Camry?
@@jimmydurbin2929 no not yet. I have not replaced the computer yet because I'm broke...but that's next on the list to try. If you come up with anything, I'm all ears
my car also has no crank no start but happens rarely. I even got a new 11 plated battery for it but the problem continues. happens occasionally but unpredictably and leaving it for a bit and then starting automatically starts it again. what would this problem be?
I have a 2004 volvo S60 2.5T and she wont start. Changed the starter and started up fine but next day just the click was back. Changed relay and tightened up everything but then got a hard crank and rough idle or it just clicks (hit or miss on starting) she threw a code of "fuelsysa ol fault", can you help me with this? I dont know where to go from here and cannot find any info on it. Also, I was going to change fuel pump but it was nowhere to be found so assuming it's in the fuel tank on my model. Also before the no start, every now and then after putting gas, she would start to randomly die and have a hard time starting back up. Thank you for your time and would really appreciate any help!!

I had to towed to the mechanic shop that I use. They said it was just a loose connection (or something akin to that, I'm not the most car savvy person around), fixed it and it worked fine ever since.... until today (it was about 6 months between the last issue and the one today).
I went to a store this morning, and when I came back out and got in the car, it wouldn't start. I tried a few times, and it was always this no crank condition. I called for roadside assistance for a tow. But as I was waiting, I tried again to start the car, and that time it started just fine. I canceled the roadside assistance, and I dropped the car off at the mechanic shop that I use (they won't be able to look at it until Monday).
Any idea what the issue might be? It's weird that it just wouldn't crank and then a little while later (and after I tried a few times), it suddenly started again.
The battery in the car is new. I had that changed out shortly after I got it. So that shouldn't be the issue.
Did you ever get it figured out? I’m having this same issue. batter is fine
Dude my car keeps doing that it's sooo annoying, randomly starts but never when i want it to
I have the no crank no start issue, however I cannot get the lever out of park, i turn the key and just nothing, thing is i messed about by some wires and then this happened but everything seems fine by the wires, i checked all fuses all good, the only thing I've notice is that usually my audi will show the gears PRNDS at the bottom but its not showing it anymore and the OBD scanner is unable to connect to my car for some reason, some advice would be greatly appreciated, great vid btw.
Awesome advice! I put the car in neutral and the car started right up! Thanks!!!
Dude I just tried this and it started right up… what was the problem?? I changed my neutral safety switch already
Can't find any similar issue that i have.
I can unlock the steering -> turn it into "on" position where all the lights come up. But i can't turn key to "start" position anymore.. (i usually could turn it after some attempts but now, after months, it won't let me)
Can a electrical issue cause a "physical wall, preventing the key from turning"?
Putting the car in neutral really helped thank you!
I tried neutral and did not work my car parked since February with no battery in and today will not crank with brand new battery
Wow please help him l have no idea thanks
thanks sir i west may 3 hours by checking the engine but the problem was in key 😅
Hello I own a dune buggy before this issue I brought a new starter and a relay the buggy worked for about a month and now won’t crank the battery has charge fuses are okay too
Great video lots of information
The most common problem is the ignition switch electric plug needs cleaned with CRC electronic cleaner. Common problem with GMC wire plugs carbon buildup. Cold and humidity also affect it randomly. Spray CRC electronic cleaner on the connection to the ignition switch found at end of the Key cylinder housing, you can find access under the steering wheel may have to remove some plastic shroud.
My antitheft icon has always been on. Would it suddenly be the issue my car won't crank over?
Ended up being the fuse for the computer why my car wouldn't crank over. Acted like I did not have the clutch pushed in even tho I did. Glad it was a simple fix 🥰
Hi there 👋, could you tell me if you think my car has a starter motor problem
The Car wont start, all interior electrics work, When i turn ignition key to position 1 dash lights up and flickers alot then goes off
when i turn it to start the car loses all power completely with no attempt to crank over,
Power then comes back after a few minutes or if i disconnect/reconnect battery
I have replaced battery
I connected a jump lead😊 wire from battery earth to engine block and this made it possible for ignition lights to stay on on the dash
i turned the key to start and it cranked over a tiny bit for half a second. I could hear the starter trying to move but then all power was lost again
To me it seems the car is drawing too much power then resetting itself
04 explorer 4.0. No crank no start. Anti theft light is solid. When I turn ignition to On position, I hear a sound from under the hood. It sounds like it's coming from where the air intake meets the engine. It only lasts about 1.5-2 seconds. When I actually try to turn the ignition fully, nothing at all happens.
So couple days ago my 2006 Honda civic ex has no crank no start left me stranded at a gas station, got it towed at my house & it’s parked in the meantime until I figure out the problem lol so I tried to shift it to Nuetral so I can push it & the shifter wouldn’t move at it was stuck in park so I had to push the emergency lever to Nuetral, also the Park light or any of the gears don’t light on the dashboard, what could be the problem? Also I check this morning to see if it might start & when I put the key in & left it for couple of seconds the key immobilizer started to flash on the dash board, could that be the problem? Any ideas? I’m thinking my car is not reading my key so could be my ignition switch or it could be the safety switch. Also to add on to this I already put new Battery, New starter, New Fuel pump.
Man you have no idea how much this helped 💯
amazing video I just check the relay and was the cause thank you so much
Awesome thank you!
I managed to get mine started just by removing the battery lead and putting it back on. Still not sure what caused it to not start?
Were entering Winter in Maryland.If you go out in the cold and it doesn't start.Thats the most likely reason.Mine was 4 years old and just died.My cold Amps dropped to below 50.So if you're wondering why it worked fine and just stopped.
My problem is a no crank no start and the key FOB isn’t locking/unlocking the car, got it to run twice but now it’s been months and it’s killing me. Any suggestions?
Replace the key I seen videos that’s one way
Thanks so much resolved the issue in 2min after watching your video
Awesome, thank you!
Also, if you have a 26yo Expedition like myself and your truck does not fully stay in park because of the spring inside the instrument panel, it won't start 🤦♀️ Oh the joys of not being able to afford a newer used vehicle.
It's Sept 12, my starter is good,when I try to start,NOTHING!!! Bad thing is it won't go into neutral to check the neutral switch. Any suggestions on how to get in neutral? It went 1time then no more.
Yeah Acura tl type s does that won’t start so i throw in neutral and start because it’s reading it’s in gear
Hello I appreciate Your guidance and Creativity I have 02 Clk 430 no Crank no Start , will try Your advice, Please can you tell me if my 02 CLK has Neautral Safety Switch ? Thk you leo
i just did about 30 things to this car alternator water pump battery ballast resistor started the car last night it ran great ! now i have all my lights turn the key and its dead ! tested neutral safety switch nothing! starter is testing fine starter switch everything test good and no power is going to starter when i turn the key !!
jfc... I got my car towed because it wouldn't start for me. I think the gear was nudged slightly into reverse the whole time. It's starting up with no problem now. Thank you for this video, I feel a little silly but I'm also glad I didn't bring it to a mechanic or start replacing parts.
I'm having the same issue, ford mustang 2012. Took it to ford to replace starter relay and didn't fix my issue -$400 down the drain. I don't know who to actually take it to so they can get to the root of the issue. Bought it from a used dealer as is 2 months ago. Frustrating
buy an obd car scanner as it could be anything. most common are battery, starter motor. alternator, fuel pumps, fuel injectors
Last month my car started but the moment I put my foot on the gas pedal it would turn off and the battery light turned on. Not because of a bad alternator but because the car was losing power and when I started back up it started up just fine. No issues but the moment I'll put my foot in gas where the reversing or driving it'll shut off. It turned out that it was a sensor. MAP sensor. I also recently replaced the Fuel pump and fuel filter as well as a crankshaft sensor and camshaft sensor. I also replaced the air filter and spark plugs. Luckily I have all of that fixed and replaced on my car. Runs good now and it no longer turns off while driving in it.
What can I do for the anti theft problem?
Check for a little 2 amp fuse under the hood it’s called swc bklt, it fixed my issue, maybe it can fix yours
@@tristanjoanette thank u I’ll try it
After replacing the fuel pump in my Jeep grand cherokee laredo 3.7 WK- Im now having a problem with a vapor lock and my new pump is making a ringing/humming noise off and on-is there a way to fix it with a inline check valve or inline filter of some sort. I have to release pressure on the fuel rail to re-crank it after it runs for more than 20 minutes/ which is a possible fire risk.
Hi ...i have question there is a time my car not start ...what i did i put the shift gear to neutral. Then is start. My question is is that ok and safe or there is issue that need to addess because sometime my car is not start while is in park mode. Thanks in advance.
Clutch safety switch? What do i do?
Very good explanation Tanks
My mercedes says (car must be on level) does it cause no crank cause i replaced ecu and it didnt work, but everything else works fine in my s210 t model.
Today my car no crank no started and I called a tow truck and after waiting 45 minutes and still no tow truck the car started and ran fine. It’s a hot/warm start issue causing no crank no start and I just changed the ECT. Changed the starter a year ago for the same issue (it’s gotten worse over the year). So frustratingggg it was so hot today.
It was the ignition coil and ignition module in the end! Haha
Hi, what vehicle do you have? I’m going through the same crap toyota rav4 2012

I’m having the EXACT PROBLEM 2010 cord ranger…. In addition the instrument panel lights start dimming and / or flickering…. That tells me there’s an electrical problem, but where in the world do I even start looking? 🤦. PLEASE SOMEONE Give ME A STARTING POINT
I Have A Question Mines Is All The Above Issues But Mines Won Start In Neutral And It Wont Bypass Crank Either To Start The Car Ive Changed The Battery And Starter And Moved Fuses Around Still Nothing When I Crank So Im Tryna Figure Out What May Be The Issue Still At This Point
Have you tried the neutral safety switch? This can also be a problem if your car won’t start in park but will start in neutral. It should start in both gears at all times and failure to start in one or the other shows the safety switch may need replacing.

My saturn vue just started this i was just driving it turned it off and when i went to crank it it was trying to turn over but didn't now its not even trying to turn over no sound any answers or suggestions?
New starter new battery, no flickering, relay is good, will try to start if jumper used on relay, starts 97% of the time. It seems if I shift into park too fast without the steering wheel aligned then it won't start. No security light either.
My car cranks and starts, but sometimes it has a no crank no start problem . Could this be starter brushes going bad or a loose pole connection.?
TQ so much. Mine was the neutral switch. Got to push a bit harder to the P position till the P symbol appear. Again TQ
Been trying to prepare mine. Already repaired it. These were the main issues. The starter, starter relay, the fuel pump being bad, Clogged fuel line, Bad battery, bad alternator, car being left on drive. Bad IBS(intelligent battery sensor). After fixing all that it finally turned on. Cleared the check engine light to by cleaning my intake and exhaust solenoids.
I would put 6 at the top.
Tidy info. Thanks.
What if the engine light is on? Wont start,, key fob wont work,, cant lock or unlock the car
I would start by reading the codes that are related to the engine light. You’ll need an obd2 scanner if your vehicle is made after 1996.
Uhhh , the starting diagram is incomplete plz add a signal wire from the ign switch to the starter solenoid
I have a new fuel pump, ECM, battery and terminal connectors, truck still will not start. Perhaps it is one of the fuses. Thank you.
Are you getting spark and fuel? It could be your crank sensor.
was having symptoms similar to the neutral safety switch but did not realize this workaround. went back down to try to start my Lexus GS460 again in neutral, but she started right up in Park without issue...
Originally the issue was a completely dead battery, replaced the battery and she still would not start as above, assuming it might be fuses ordered some fuses online and did other stuff, tried again after about 4 hours(after watching this video) and it started without issue...
Potentially the neutral switch got locked when the old battery was in/when i tried to jump start it, just took a while for the car to reset post having a good battery I guess.
My truck won’t start I all ready replaced the battery starter Clean all grounds Battery termals Could it be the alternator and the ignition switch Or the Transmission Switch or what it was called I just hope it’s not the motor I know it was rebuilt Before I got it
Thanks man you save me 🫶🏻🫶🏻😂
Great video
Thank you!
I have a issue starting my Porsche panamera it's been sitting for 5 to 6 months during the winter and when I try to turn it on I get a clicking sound My battery volts is 11.03 I tried to boost it it didn't work I was told it was a starter issue but I'm wondering should I get a new battery first or can I test the relay and everything with this low battery since I can't turn the car on.
Thank you, great info!
and thank you!
2002 camry, 240k miles. Cut off while driving, no crank no start, starter does not click. Dash lights and headlights on. No blown fuses, no visibly burnt relays. Any thoughts?
I have a 1981 Chevy g3 van and that happened to me for months & I would get stuck in the middle of traffic & in the middle of a busy 5 way traffic light during rush hour. For my vehicle, it was simply the ignition switch. Replaced and for the last 8 months everything has been good till last night and now it’s dashboard and all cab electrical items are good but no start/no crank. I tried to use jumper cables w/another car to no avail. Electric battery jumper @100v:fail. Battery is at 13.0v so don’t think it has anything to do with the battery. Going to check starter relay next. Did you ever find out what the issue was with your Camry?
@@jimmydurbin2929 no not yet. I have not replaced the computer yet because I'm broke...but that's next on the list to try. If you come up with anything, I'm all ears
I have the anti theft light on my 2013 mustang gt
Now what do I do???
Great video. Thanks!
I have power when I turn the key but the car won’t crank up the battery is fine I don’t what else to do
I have a Nissan altima push start bottom , when I push the bottom it just shuts down I think it’s the battery since the battery holder it’s loose
my car also has no crank no start but happens rarely. I even got a new 11 plated battery for it but the problem continues. happens occasionally but unpredictably and leaving it for a bit and then starting automatically starts it again.
what would this problem be?
Good guide
am experiencing the same issue on my VW polo... It starts up when the car is motion. problem occurs mostly in the mornings
I have a 2004 volvo S60 2.5T and she wont start. Changed the starter and started up fine but next day just the click was back. Changed relay and tightened up everything but then got a hard crank and rough idle or it just clicks (hit or miss on starting) she threw a code of "fuelsysa ol fault", can you help me with this? I dont know where to go from here and cannot find any info on it. Also, I was going to change fuel pump but it was nowhere to be found so assuming it's in the fuel tank on my model. Also before the no start, every now and then after putting gas, she would start to randomly die and have a hard time starting back up. Thank you for your time and would really appreciate any help!!
on mine it was some sort of starter relay issue , bought both new battery and starter first, but that did not help
Thanks I’ll try. Battery 14v turn key clicks. Put battery jumper on and it starts. Weird. New battery.
I have 2008 Audi a3 wasn’t starting or turning over because of starter just put new one in it turns over but won’t start HELP
