Check That It Is In Park
When you’re distracted or in a hurry, it’s easy to make simple mistakes, but those can affect how your vehicle starts the next time. One of the most common is simply leaving your vehicle in gear when shutting it off. If your car isn’t in park, it won’t start, but the good news is that all you need to do is shift gears.
Pay Attention to Sights and Sounds
If your car is in gear and still won’t start, there’s likely another, more complex cause for why. To understand the root of the issue, you want to pay close attention to the sounds, visual indicators, and scents of the vehicle. For instance, a ticking noise when you try to turn over indicates an issue with the battery. If you can address the underlying issue quickly, you’ll be able to get back on the road. Also, some vehicles may drain the battery if interior lights are left on after you exit your vehicle.
Call for Assistance
Some starter problems will need more complex service. If you can’t address your car’s problems without assistance, it’s time to call for your roadside support. Ask to have your car towed to the service center at Fields Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM Glenview. Even if you can get your car running again, it’s still a good idea to schedule an expert inspection.
