What Are the Reasons for No Response When Starting the Car?
2 Answers
Here are the reasons why the car does not respond when starting: 1. Key issues. A dead battery in the key or interference with the key's radio waves can prevent the car from starting. Frequently placing the car key near electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, or TVs can easily cause interference with the low-intensity radio waves in the key, making the car's sensor unable to detect it. 2. The gear is not in P (Park) position. 3. The brake pedal is not pressed. 4. Problems with the car itself. Here are the solutions: 1. Replace the key battery. 2. Shift the gear to P (Park) and restart the ignition. 3. Press the brake pedal while starting the ignition. 4. Visit a 4S shop for assistance.
I've encountered several instances where the car wouldn't start. I remember one particularly cold morning when the car refused to turn over. After checking, I found it was due to an aging battery with insufficient charge, especially since battery performance tends to drop in cold weather. Other possible causes include a faulty starter (you won't hear the clicking sound), a broken ignition switch, or a blown fuse. It's best to first try turning on the headlights—if they're dim, it's likely a battery issue—then check if the cables are loose. Regular battery maintenance and voltage checks are essential because a failure to start can easily leave you stranded on the road, compromising driving safety. Also, make sure the car is in 'P' (Park) gear, as sometimes being in the wrong gear can prevent the car from starting.
