There could be several reasons why your 1996 Ford Aspire won't start. Common issues include a dead battery, faulty starter motor, or problems with the ignition system. Additionally, check for issues with the fuel system, such as an empty tank or a clogged fuel filter. It's best to diagnose the problem systematically, starting with the battery and connections.
either something shorted in the computer when re-connecting, or your grammar implies that you are trying to start it with no battery...which obviously would mean you should first re-connect the battery
Low voltage from the battery, can be caused by a faulty battery or an alternator that isn't functioning properly. Bad starter Corroded battery connections or other electrical connections.
On a 1995 Ford Aspire : If you stand at the front of the vehicle and look in the engine compartment the automatic transaxle fluid dipstick is in the area to the LEFT of your battery ( according to a drawing I was looking at of the engine compartment of a 1996 Ford Aspire )
Check the battery.
Fuel filter is located in the engine compartment, driver's side between battery and firewall. Follow the fuel lines.
Is starter working?
If your 1996 Dodge Stratus wonÕt start you can try to jump start the car. There is no reset button like a computer. You can recharge your car battery with a jump start.
try taking the cover off of your ignition and tap your ignition tumbler with a screwdriver while trying to start, because your tumbler may be sticking.
what does it do
if the battery is dead the switch wont unlock or start
I would start by checking the battery and fuses.
