2. Check the battery cables. The battery cables connect the battery to the starter motor. If the cables are loose or corroded, they can prevent the starter motor from getting enough power to start the engine. Inspect the cables for damage and clean off any corrosion.
3. Check the starter motor. The starter motor is responsible for turning the engine over. If the starter motor is defective, it will not be able to start the engine. You can test the starter motor by connecting a jumper cable from the positive terminal of the battery to the solenoid terminal on the starter motor. If the starter motor cranks the engine over, it is working properly. If the starter motor does not crank the engine over, it may need to be replaced.
4. Check the ignition switch. The ignition switch turns on the electrical system in the car, including the starter motor. If the ignition switch is defective, it will not be able to send power to the starter motor. You can test the ignition switch by turning the key to the "start" position. If the starter motor does not crank the engine over, the ignition switch may need to be replaced.
5. Check the fuel system. If the fuel system is not working properly, the engine will not be able to get the fuel it needs to start. Check the fuel lines for leaks and cracks. Also, check the fuel filter to make sure it is not clogged.
