How to Start an Automatic Transmission Car Without Power?

[MayaMarie]

Automatic transmission car without power start method is: find a car that can start normally, park the two cars facing each other, open the front hood and take out the jumper cables, connect positive to positive and negative to negative to charge. The reasons for an automatic transmission car having no power are: 1. Dead battery; 2. Spark plug failure; 3. Fuel filter failure; 4. Circuit failure; 5. Mechanical failure; 6. Severe engine carbon buildup. Methods to prevent an automatic transmission car from losing power are: 1. Do not park the car in an open parking lot for a long time; 2. Avoid multiple uninterrupted starts of the vehicle; 3. Regularly check the battery accessories and connecting circuits; 4. Do not use car electrical appliances after the engine is turned off.

When I first drove an automatic car, I encountered a situation where it wouldn't start due to a dead battery. An experienced driver taught me that the most practical method is using jumper cables. You need to find a helper car parked close but not touching, connect the red cable first to the positive terminals (the + sign) of both car batteries; then connect the black cable to the negative terminal of the helper car and the other end to a metal part of your car's engine frame to avoid sparks. Start the helper car's engine, wait for three to five minutes to let the charge flow in, then try starting your car—it should work. Don't believe the online advice about push-starting; automatic transmissions rely on hydraulic systems, so pushing won't work and might even damage the transmission, wasting effort. To prevent this, I keep a portable emergency starter in my car, similar to a power bank—just press a button to solve the problem. Also, replace the battery every two or three years, and always turn off all lights and audio systems to preserve battery life.

That morning when I went to work, my automatic transmission car wouldn't start due to a dead battery - it was so frustrating! I borrowed a colleague's car to jump-start mine: connected the red cables to both positive battery terminals, then attached the black cable to his negative terminal first before grounding it to a secure spot on my car's frame. After starting his car and waiting a few minutes, my car started right up when I turned the key. Pushing the car was completely useless - automatic transmission cars have different internal mechanisms, and forced pushing could damage the mechanics. Since then, I always remind myself not to forget turning off lights to prevent battery drain, and I've bought a compact jump starter to keep in the glove compartment for emergencies - affordable and effective. I also make it a habit to check the voltmeter before nighttime drives to ensure safe and worry-free driving.

Don't panic if your automatic car won't start due to a dead battery! Call a friend to help jump-start it: connect the red cable positive to positive, attach one end of the black cable to their negative terminal and the other end to your engine block. Start your friend's car and let it run for a minute before attempting to start yours. Pushing won't work for automatics and may damage the transmission, so save your energy. Keep a portable jump starter in your car for emergencies.
