What are the reasons why the Exeed LX cannot start after being parked for a long time?

Exeed LX cannot start after being parked for a long time due to the following reasons: Dead battery: Sometimes you may find that the car cannot start normally in the morning, which is likely because the trunk was not completely closed, causing the trunk light to stay on and drain the battery. Spark plugs fail to ignite: Spark plugs themselves are prone to damage, and short circuits in high-voltage lines can cause the spark plugs to fail to ignite. Another reason is that poor-quality spark plugs can also prevent normal starting. Starting circuit malfunction: During startup, there is only a slight sound with no further response, which is caused by a stuck starting relay.
I know exactly how it feels when a car won't start after sitting idle for too long. Last time when I returned from a two-month business trip, my Exeed LX simply refused to start. After struggling for hours, I found the battery was completely dead – it's normal for batteries to self-discharge over time, and cold weather makes voltage drop even faster. The starter might have rusted or had stuck contacts too, just buzzing without turning when I turned the key. Also, gasoline in the tank evaporates and thins over time, making the fuel pump struggle. Moisture corrosion on wiring connectors is another issue – relays and control modules need checking. Better call roadside assistance for a jump start immediately. If it works, head straight to the service station for a new battery. Don't be lazy in daily life – start the engine every three weeks and take a short drive for maintenance. Saves trouble, money, and keeps you safe.
Failure to start after prolonged parking is often due to a depleted battery or starter motor malfunction. Car batteries have a high self-discharge rate when idle, especially with significantly reduced performance in winter. Worn carbon brushes inside the starter motor or sticking relays can cause a clicking sound during ignition without the engine turning over. The fuel system can also be affected, as gasoline deteriorates over time, leading to poor fuel supply from the fuel pump. I've researched this issue; sometimes the electronic control module in the Exeed LX requires a reset. It's recommended to first use a multimeter to check the battery voltage—if it's below 12 volts, the battery needs charging or replacement. If that doesn't work, inspect the fuses and starter wiring, but avoid disassembling it yourself and seek professional diagnostics. For prevention, regularly driving the car to keep it running and adding fuel stabilizer works well.
