Car wont turn on sometimes.
Guys i'm having this weird trouble with my car. What's happening is that I try to start the car sometimes it doesn't start and it makes a weird noise after trying. I would like to know if you guys have experience this and if you know what is going on.
Thanks a lot. Bryan

Can you describe the noise?
First things first, how old is your battery?

Oh and by the way, I can't tell how old the battery is because I just bought the car few months ago, and the former owner did not tell me how much time did it had, could it be the battery??
I'm asking this because the car seems to have energy since all the electronics inside are normally on.

Bryan, Hi!
First review the pic at the beginning of this thread and make sure your battery box looks nothing like this - Main Fuse block issues MORAV needs some help helping someone else on the Org! - Battery Fuse Box Issue Assuming all is well and good in the box, check all connections for CLEAN and TIGHT, in the box and on the battery. Charge up the battery, and take it to the Corner Parts Store (Advance Auto Parts is a good one), and have them test your battery and load test your alternator. Probably not your alternator as that should trip your "Generator" light, mis-identified as the "Battery" light, but have it load tested anyway. Assuming there are no issues with your main fuse box atop the battery, and nothing tests negative at the parts store, come back, post up, and we'll move to the next step. MORAV

You can have enough juice in the battery to power your other electrical stuff in the car (radio, dash lights, etc) but not enough to get the car to turn on. When my battery died, that happened to me. Radio and all worked but car wouldn't start. It was slow to start for a number of months...I could tell the battery was on the way out.
Some more questions... Does this seem to be an issue at random times? Cold starts? Warm starts?

It has happened me on cold starts and warm starts, but it usually happens on cold starts. I guess the battery should be it. Thanks a lot and sorry for the inconvenience.
