Car Won't Start
What the car does when you turn the key tells you a lot — cranks but won’t catch, clicks, or does nothing at all each point to different problems.
Should you keep driving?
A no-start leaves you stranded. If it happens repeatedly, get it diagnosed before you rely on the car again.
Common causes
Dead batteryDim lights and a single click or rapid clicking usually mean the battery.
Failing starterA loud single click with a good battery often points at the starter.
Fuel or ignition faultCranks but never catches — think fuel pump, spark, or a security/immobilizer issue.
Bad connectionsCorroded battery terminals or ground straps can mimic a dead battery.
