What is the reason for the Buick Excelle not responding when turning the key?
2 Answers
Buick Excelle not responding when turning the key: It must be a problem with the fuel system or the electrical system. First, check if the fuel level is insufficient. If it is, go to the nearest gas station or call for rescue; if not, it is an electrical system issue, and it is recommended to call an auto repair shop for assistance. There are three main reasons for car key failure: 1. Car key issue: During daily use, the car key may run out of battery. Pay attention to the usage method of the car key when driving, keep the locking and unlocking distance closer, as the farther the remote distance, the greater the power consumption. Do not press the remote key multiple times when locking the car. 2. Car issue: When the car battery is low on power. 3. Environmental issue: When parking, avoid parking in areas with strong surrounding magnetic fields. In addition, there may be intentional human interference, mainly from criminals deliberately using car remote jammers.
Last time my Excelle had the same issue where turning the key yielded no response at all. After some thought, I realized the battery is most prone to failure—especially in older cars where a 3-4-year-old battery can't hold a charge anymore. A dead battery means no ignition. If the starter motor is faulty, it's even more troublesome; worn-out carbon brushes will stop the motor from working. The ignition switch is also susceptible to poor contact from daily use. For automatic transmissions, pay extra attention to the gear position—it must be in P or N to start. A locked steering wheel can cause this too; just gently turn the wheel to unlock it. Finally, don’t forget to check the fuse box—locate the starter fuse and see if it’s blown. My advice: if you encounter this problem, first try jump-starting. If that doesn’t work, call a professional mechanic immediately. Forcing the key can easily burn out components.
