Why Your Car Isn’t Starting
It can be frustrating to discover that your car isn’t starting the way it’s supposed to. There are a few common reasons why cars won’t start, and understanding the root cause can make it easier to address the problem and get your car running right again.
Here are a few of the reasons why your vehicle isn't starting:
- Your battery is dead. You’ll know your battery is dead if you hear a clicking sound when you turn your key but none of your lights come on. This is common if your vehicle has been idling or when you leave your door slightly open after parking. Before bringing in your car for an inspection, try jump-starting your car to see if that works.
- Your starter is faulty. If your starter isn’t working, your dashboard may light up or you may hear clicking or ticking sounds as your engine tries to turn over. While there are a few tricks to get your starter working again, it’s best to bring your vehicle to our service center for replacement BMW parts.
- Your car isn’t getting enough fuel. If your vehicle is low on fuel or if there’s a leak in your gas tank, your car may not be able to start. A quick refuel can easily fix this.
