Starter or battery

Starter or battery
  • 02 October, 2021

When the car does not start, there is often confusion as to whether the problem is with the starter or the battery.

The most characteristic to understand that the problem comes from the starter is that by holding the switch in the starting position, you hear the characteristic start sound from the starter without the car starting.

The most common feature to understand that the problem is with the battery is that while holding the switch in the starting position, you do not hear any sound or the starter turns too slowly.

Ask to connect your battery to a car near you to start and go to a workshop to check the electrical circuit. Or if this is not possible, call roadside assistance to transport the car to the workshop.

A common mistake you can make is that a problem with the starter can quickly drain the battery. If for some reason the starter has a problem and the car does not start the first time, with continuous unsuccessful attempts the battery is discharged quickly.

When your car does not start on the first start, leave it for at least 10 seconds and then try again.
