How do you know when your battery to your remote for your car starter is dead?

The first thing that you want to do is check your battery. This is the most common problem with vehicle no-starts, so by checking your battery, you will either solve the problem immediately or rule out one potential issue. If you turn on your head lights and they are bright, your radio is loud, and you can use your automatic windows and doors, then your battery definitely isn't dead. This means that it is most likely your starter or some more serious problem, such as a timing belt or even something like a lack of fuel.

Why does a 1989 Ford Aerostar parking lights stay on after shutting off the headlights even when vehicle is shut off and will remain on until battery is dead?
I would suspect a bad headlight and / or turnsignal switch assembly. I just ran across this problem recently with an 89 Aerostar with an Astrostart remote starter. When using the remote to lock the vehicle, the parking lights flash on and off. Something with the Astrostart was keeping the parking lights on until I shut the power off to the remote starter and from that point on the parking lights shut off fine. I don't know though what in the Astrostart is causing it. I don't know anything about remote starters. The owner is happy that his battery no longer goes dead but now he has to get help with the remote starter.
Why won't the engine turn over when you try to start your 1989 Corolla?
Dead battery? Bad starter? Bad/dirty connections on battery cables? If you know the battery is good, you have to listen when the key is turned. if there is an audible "click" when you turn the key its mostlikely the starter.
How do you know what's wrong if your truck clicks when you try to start it then it finally starts?
These answers by mechanics about dead batteries are amazing me. I am a girl...really into cars because I have had a few. I just had this problem in my 1989 classic Saab. The problem is your starter...The clicking sound means that the pin inside of the starter is not projecting itself and thats why when you turn your key you hear a clicking. Get your starter tested
What causes your battery to die when the battery and alternator are new?
Something is usually on that you don't know about like an alarm could be draining the battery. However, If its not starting you should check the starter though. It will make you think the battery is bone dead.

Have the battery and/or starter tested for free at your local auto parts store.
Your 2002 jeep gc will not start it makes a click sound when key is turned but no crank the battery is good and the car has been running great to this point could it be the map sensor or the starter?
It can be a bad starter, but it can be a corroded battery cable. If you know the battery and cables are good, remove the starter and have it tested at most auto parts stores.It can be a bad starter, but it can be a corroded battery cable.

How do you know when the remote key battery needs to be changed on a Toyota 2007 rav4?
That's a tough one, but I would guess the answer is "when it stops working". That is a true indication that the battery is dead. But don't call a locksmith, because you can still open your door manually with the key... yes, you can, even if the battery key is dead.
How do you tell if your starter is dead?
What I do to test the starter with out taking it out of the rig is run power directly do the starter and by pass all the electronics. sometimes that can be as easy as taking a screwdriver and jumping the terminals directly on the starter. Or taking jumper cables and hooking it up to the battery if the started responds then you know!!!! happy Motoring
How do you know if your starter went out or is it your alternator?
if it is your alternator your battery will be low or dead... your lights will be dim when turned on. , if you cannot crank your car or it will crank slowly it may be your starter or battery cable connection or a loose connection in the link........ , a low battery caused by an alternator will usually click rapidly the starter solenoid, when trying to start, and the lights will go out when cranking ..., for the most part turn on your headlights if they are dim the charging system or the battery is to blame .. hope this helps
Why does click when starting changed battery?
If you know the battery and connections at the battery are good then it is more than likely a defective starter.
How do you know if the starter is not working in a Sunfire?
If the starter isn't working, the car will not crank at all. When you turn the key you will either get a clicking sound (which could also mean a dead battery), or you will hear the sound of an electric motor spinning and nothing else.
