If wiiggling some cables or wires helps to start the car, look for a loose connection or corrosion where the cables/wires connect to.
Generally 3 but sometimes 2, depends on the vehicle.
Hey Josh==Clean the battery cables first on both ends. Then check the starter solonoid. Also make sure there is a good ground between the engine and the body. GoodluckJoe
ignition switch...baterry cables...starter...ALARM????
Typically the best place to purchase these cables is from the manufacturer. However, if you're looking to take pictures from the memory card to the computer sometimes a card reader is a cheaper alternative.
No, you need at least 8 gauge for jumper cables.
Remove the negative and then positive cables from the battery.
Have you removed the battery cables and cleaned the battery posts and cable connections? This is a frequent cause for the problem that you describe.
Reset the battery by removing the cables and reattaching to the terminals - simple
When using battery cables to start a car, once it has started is there a procedure when removing the cables from the running car?
Positive+ (RED) goes to positive + on battery. Negative - (Black) goes to negative - on battery.
your alternator is bad
Impossible to tell for sure, but most likely the contact with the terminals/posts on the battery, and the cables to the vehicle, are not substantial (good) enough to crank the starter. Although lights work, there needs to be little to no resistance to the power available in the battery to the starter. Causes are likely - dirty battery terminals/posts - dirty corroded cables - cables too loosely connected to battery - battery is too old/weak. try cleaning the posts with emery cloth or fine sand paper till shiny - same for inside the cables - a file can sometimes work to clean here - ensure that cables are properly seated down the posts far enough to ensure maximum contact. tighten firmly so cables cannot be wiggled off - but careful not to overdo it - cable heads can split/break - contact is now comprimised. bottom line - need clean and firm contact cables/posts.
Generally 3 but sometimes 2, depends on the vehicle.
Weak battery? Loose or corroded battery cables? Bad starter?
Switching ignition cables for cylinders 1 and 3. Start engine and let run for a minute. The misfire will unclog it. Disconnect vacuum hose to white anti vacuum thing on drivers side of engine. Sometimes you need to do it when it reclogs.
disconnect the battery cables for 5 minutes then reconnect them. remember to reset the clock after doing this.
The dipstick is on the left side of the engine it's all the way down youhave to reach just below the airfilter cables
