What Causes a Car to Have No Power Even When the Battery Has Charge?

[EliDella]

When the battery has charge but the vehicle has no power and cannot start, this symptom is most likely due to a blown fuse responsible for the starter motor. It's important to note that when you find your vehicle unable to start, avoid repeatedly attempting to ignite the engine. Continuous ignition attempts can lead to continuous battery discharge, resulting in a completely drained battery. If a car fuse is blown, it needs to be replaced with a new one, which can be done at a repair shop. Below are other reasons why a car might have power but fail to start: 1. Insufficient Fuel: Without its power source—gasoline—the car naturally won't start. 2. Incorrect Gear Position: Generally, the correct gear positions for starting an automatic transmission car are P (Park) or N (Neutral). If the gear is left in R (Reverse) or another position, not only will the car fail to start, but it can also pose a safety hazard. 3. Lack of Antifreeze: In extremely cold winter conditions, failure to start may be caused by insufficient antifreeze, leading to the entire cooling system freezing, the engine cracking from the cold, the car's water pump failing to operate, and the engine not starting, potentially damaging other engine components.
