There may be many factors why your car is not able to start, but before you call San Diego Roadside Assistance, here are a few things you can check yourself to save time and possibly fix the problem. These are real life tips from years of experience.

Check for loose battery terminal connections or corroded claps to battery posts. If you have good and fully charged battery, but when trying to start the engine, all power just disappears and comes back on after key is released, you may have bad connection to the battery. Open the hood and look at the battery clamps to make sure they are clean and tight. Lose wires may spark and not let starter reach full power when cranking the engine.

Not enough power from jumper leads to start the engine. Charging your battery with jumper cables usually work when you need just a little extra boost to start. Larger pickup truck or diesel engines may take 30-45 minutes to charge before start. Our service techs carry large capacity booster batteries (1500 Cranking Amps) designed to start dual battery diesels and even semi-trucks instantly.

Locked Steering wheel may prevent the ignition from turning. If you parked very close to a curb or cramped your wheels to side on uphill street, your steering wheel may get locked in a position where it takes a lot of force to turn it. If you can’t get steering wheel free when starting the vehicle, then ignition would not let you go past accessory mode. To release steering wheel from locked position you will have to pull hard to one or other side while turning the key simultaneously.

Gear Selector is not in “P” Park position. Every automatic starts only when shifter is in Park or Neutral position. There are times when shifter is not completely in Park mode and thus prevents car from starting. Move your gear selector from “P” to “N” and back and try to start again. Call San Diego Towing Service for quick professional assistance.

Security or anti-theft alarm if triggered will disable the ignition sequence and prevent car from starting. If you see theft security light on dash blinking or your alarm is blaring and engine does not start, click unlock button on your key fob. If your car does not have a remote – locking / unlocking driver door with a key usually disarms factory security alarm. Some after-market alarm installations have a kill switch hidden under the dash.

Car not starting caused by something other, than dead battery. There are other vehicle breakdowns that consumer may confuse with low battery. Like bad starter or bad alternator. If your car takes several tries to start. It would click and click and after several attempts turn over, this is a sign of a failing starter and you need to get to a repair garage asap.
Bad alternator usually makes it feel like your whole car is shutting down even while you are driving it. Your radio will flicker, power steering becomes hard, headlights – dim and eventually the motor will stall. In this case jump starting your car would not be helpful as it won’t stay running after jumper leads are disconnected.
