Timing is off.
If the engine does not even crank, it is battery or starter related. Check all connections and the charge of the battery itself.If it does crank, it can be 25 additional reasons why engine does not start.
Seized engine? Dead battery? Loose or corroded battery cables? Bad starter? Bad starter solenoid? Bad neutral safety switch? Bad ignition switch?
Does the engine crank but not start? Or does it not even crank? Based on the information you gave, you could have a bad starter or weak battery. Dead battery. Recharge it or get a new one.
Defective ignition switch, loose or corroded battery cables, starter connection, bad battery cable, or the battery can be bad even though it shows a full charge.
Loose or corroded battery cables? Bad starter - excessive drag --excessive resistance
You need to check your ignition system, the problem isn't with the battery, obviously.
If the engine will not even crank, then suspect a defective battery or starter. Start by removing both battery cables and cleaning the cable connections and battery posts. Reconnect them and see if it starts. If not put a battery charger on the battery and fully charge it. If it will not accept a charge is is defective. It the vehicle starts then you may have a defective alternator. If the battery is good and it still will not start, suspect a bad starter. You will have to remove it and have it tested.
The battery has a temperature sensor. If it was left unplugged, the battery light will still be on
If none of your lights work , it could be a battery cable connection or a dead battery
A slow crank on start up is typically a sign of a weak or bad battery. Have your battery tested at a local auto parts store and replaced it if it is determined to be bad. Cold weather can also cause an engine to crank slowly. If the engine consistently starts when cold, even if it cranks slowly, you should be fine, however, you may want to eventually get a battery with more cold cranking amps (CCA).
If you are driving in the daytime, your car will loose power and then turn off. If you try to start it, it will not even crank. That's because once the alternator broke down, the engine was now using the power of the battery to run. And since the battery is not getting charged by the alternator, then the battery runs out of power and everything electrical in the car shuts down. If you are driving at night, your head lights will dim a lot and then your car shuts down. Try to start it and it won't even crank.
You're right it could be a dead battery, the starter, the soleniod, or even the alternator. My guess try jumping the car or charge the battery.
