If your car does not start could it be more than just the battery that needs to be replaced?

Try charging the battery first. if it wount chage it needa replaced. There are a lot of good batteries on the market and the difference in the price is the length of the warranty. Don't get one that is too small as it will fail soomer. GoodluckJoe

∙ 13y agoI had that problem 6months ago. It turned out that my starter needed replacement. My advice, if money permits, get it done at a shop. I bought a re-manufactured one and had a retired mechanic put it in. The only problem was that after a couple of months, I had to replace starter again twice because the one I bought was a defect. Although, it has a life time warranty, the mechanic still has to install it and I have to pay him.

Sounds like the battery needs to be replaced if it is old or the connection to the battery is lose and needs tightening. Is there corrosion around the circular connectors on top of the battery? If so, clean it off and consider replacing them if needed. That's my best guess.

If a car battery needs to jump start after not using it for a while does it mean the battery is not good any more and needs to be replaced because the power in it was leaking?
Not necessarily. Any battery, even a good one, will slowly loose it's charge. Could be that something drained the battery. Clean the battery case and the posts. Slow charge the battery until it is full and then use it. You will soon know if it is good or not.

Needs a battery, most likely. Have the alternator checked after replacing the battery. Additional Info: It could also be a loose battery connection - check the battery cable clamps. Also, if the battery needs to be replaced, lock and unlock your doors with the key as the alarm system activates itself when a battery is removed, disconnected or replaced. Cycling the door lock cylinders resets the alarm.

Your starter keeps shorting out no wires are touching and kills the battery when trying to start What could be the reason for the starter shorting or grounding out?
If you have just replaced this starter then you probably have it hooked up incorrectly. If it is still the same old starter, then it has shorted out inside and needs to be replaced.
