What to Do When the Car Won't Start After Sitting for a Day?
1 Answers
If the car won't start after sitting for a day, it's mostly due to a dead battery, and replacing the battery should solve the issue. Here are some shutdown precautions: 1. Check the windows: When parking, ensure the front, rear windows, and sunroof are fully closed without any gaps. Otherwise, it may lead to theft. 2. Check the dashboard: If the dashboard lights are on when parking at night, don't forget to turn them off. Leaving the headlights on overnight will likely drain the battery by the next day. Charging it at this point may also reduce its lifespan. 3. Rain or snow weather: Check the wipers. In rain or snow, make sure the wipers are turned off. If parking outdoors in winter and forgetting to turn off the wipers, they may freeze to the windshield. Powering them on afterward could damage the motor.
