What to Do When Your Car Won't Start

[McStephen]

When your car fails to start, the simplest solution is to first identify the problem and then address it: 1. If your car occasionally has difficulty starting, don't panic. First, check if there is sufficient fuel in the tank. 2. Turn the car key to the ON position, wait for 3 seconds, and observe the fuel gauge. Typically, if only two small bars remain or the needle is in the red zone, an alarm will sound, indicating low fuel. Simply add enough fuel to resolve the issue. 3. If the fuel level is adequate, check if the battery is depleted. When starting the engine with the key, observe whether the dashboard indicators dim. If they do, it means the battery is low, and you'll need to jump-start the car using another vehicle.
