That is usually a good sign that your starter is going bad and will probably stop working all together before to long.
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
ok. its really easy.
not really. as long as its a 14.4 volt battery you should be fine. but if your battery is too small, like a motorcycle battery, or the volts jus dont add up, then yes. Gen-R
There is a special spot where you are suppose to put the battery and if you really don't know where the spot is, look it up on You Tube.
People color raindrops blue because the ocean is blue and the ocean is water. The ocean is blue because the blue sky reflects on the water turning it blue. Water is really clear. The ocean is really clear. Since the sea is water and raindrops are water people assume that raindrops are blue and color them blue. Some people know raindrops are not blue but color them anyway because they want to add more color in their drawings.
If the engine will not turn over, that is, sound like it is turning, then the trouble is a dead battery or really bad battery clamps. If the engine will not 'catch' and start running, then there are a number of causes, one of which is having no fuel.
No, not really. That was a problem in the 90s.
Alternator is not charging, or if it is the charge is not getting to the battery
Not really. If you're going to go to all the trouble of opening it anyway, just take them out completely.
I just replace my battery less than 6 months, some how my car was out of power, I really don't know the battery really dead, and isn't there any more problem or not. if anyone have this answer pls email mail me at sweetrecipe@gmail.com. thanks a lot Ethan
Use the key! I always find that inserting the key into the lock and turning works really well. Sounds like you have a little problem. You need to understand that the electric door locks are operated by power supplied by -- wait for it -- the battery! If your battery is dead, there is no way for the electric door locks to work, unless you put a charger on the battery while the battery cables are still connected. This is probably not recommended. Voltage spikes from the charger could take out sensitive electrical parts. Use the key and charge or replace your battery.
It really differs by a good margin because most model ford escapes have a problem where the radio or other electronic devices can come on, and also that high use electrical components such as headlights can drain the battery. Ford has put out Technical Service Bulletins about these issues.
If you get anywhere near the battery *located in the front* or the electrical system, then yes, you have a problem. other than that, not really
Check your battery to see if there is battery acid inside. There are circular plugs on top that you can screw off. If there is no liquid inside you battery will not hold a charge successfully, and may severely damage your battery cells. If this is the case a new battery may be needed, if not it may be a problem with the alternator. Your local mechanic will be able to tell you in a matter of seconds what the problem is.
i would suspect you have a weak battery, dirty terminals. there could be other possibilities but really suspect battery problem.
It is not really a battery light. It is a charging system light. It is on because the system has malfunctioned. Normally this means the alternator is not working properly.
I had the same problem with a Lebaron I had. It turned out to be a wiring problem. Luckily there's really no part cost to fix this problem, just labor in tracking down the bad connection.
