Frequently asked questions
What's the most common reason a car won't start with a good battery?
A bad starter is high on the list, followed by fuel delivery, ignition switch, or a security system fault.
Could it be the anti-theft system?
Yes, if the immobilizer doesn't recognize the key, it can block starting even with a healthy battery.
