Re: Car sat for 5 days now will not crank Posted by Larry West [Email] (#1140) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Larry West) on Fri, 21 Nov 2014 08:18:35 In Reply to: Car sat for 5 days now will not crank, Kim J, Fri, 21 Nov 2014 05:34:55 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Does it turn over fast or slow? Is the dome light bright? Does the dome light get really dim while cranking? What is the fuel level? How old is the battery?
Batteries can be affected by cold, and sitting can drain them. If the fuel level is very low, these cars often get to a point where it takes more cranking than usual to get fuel flowing when they've been sitting.
Also, the battery may have a good enough charge to crank the motor, but not good enough to also run the computers at the same time. Therefore, no start.
