Can't get my Airtrek to start.

[aboo40]

Parked up at the shops beside my house yesterday & when I went back to the car I can't get it to start.
Half tank of fuel & battery is fine but nothing when I turn the key to start it. No clicking nothing.

Anyone had the same happen to them or have a idea what it could be?

First thing that gets into my mind is yr battery. You said no cranking at all right?

How you know the batt is fine? Did u check the batt terminal connectors if it's loose?

If it cranks and still can't start then it cud be fuel.

Everything works like heater, radio, lights on dash are bright & don't fade when trying to turn the engine over.

Also doesn't crank.

Bro, do you have an aftermarket alarm system? Could it be due to the immobolizer being activated? Usually, there's a reset switch.

 

[aboo40]

There is a after market toad alarm fitted but not sure how to reset it if it is that.

 

[stutzedward]

There is hidden switch somewhere. Put in the key n turn ignition on. Find the button n press it.

must be the starter as well.. get it checked.. i face this problem before. the starter's carbon brush need to change..

no sound when cranking mostly due to electric failure.check all ur wiring.worse case either battery or starter.

could it be crank sensor?

Put your gear to N, and try to starting it. Happens to me once in awhile, something to do with the gear sensor.

Any updates aboo40? Is this resolved?

 

[aboo40]

Sorry for late reply. It was the battery. Think it was jumping onto a bad cell.

 

[4gbanger]

there r few factor.. first its a battery. second its might be starter worn out or starter cable not in good cond. third, sometimes u need to put your gear at N then can start.

 

[stutzedward]

Fourth, you need a new car.. hehehhheee.
