What Are the Reasons for the Vehicle's Starter Not Responding During Ignition?
1 Answers
Car ignition starter not responding is caused by battery issues or motor wear. Below are the specific reasons for the car ignition starter not responding: Battery issues: First, check whether the wiring terminals on the battery's positive and negative electrode posts are in good condition. If they are normal, turn on the hazard warning lights while starting the motor. If the hazard warning lights on the dashboard dim, slow down, or stop working, it indicates that the battery has insufficient charge and can no longer provide the working voltage required for the starter motor. In this case, seek assistance from an automotive repair professional. Motor wear: If the brightness and frequency of the hazard warning lights on the dashboard do not change, it is highly likely that the issue lies with the starter motor. In most cases, this is caused by worn carbon brushes in the starter motor. At this point, use a long-handled screwdriver or tire wrench from the vehicle's tool kit to tap the starter motor or nearby areas a few times (avoid hitting the motor's live wire post to prevent a short circuit). This will allow the carbon brush spring to press the carbon brush onto the rotor electrode under external vibration. After tapping a few times, try restarting the motor—this method often succeeds.
