Why can't the Geely Emgrand start with a jump start?
4 Answers
Geely Emgrand can't start with a jump start for the following reasons: Check if the power supply is sufficient: A simple method is to use the anti-theft device to lock and unlock, proving that the battery has power. If not, insert the car key and see if the dashboard displays the power level; Check if everything is unlocked: Many new electric vehicles now have a rear wheel lock, which must be opened to ensure the power flow switch supplies electricity normally for the vehicle to operate. Note: It is located next to the rear wheel axle; Check the main power switch: Many new electric vehicles now have this, with varying locations, mostly inside the seat box. Turn the switch to the power-on state.
I recently dealt with a Geely Emgrand that wouldn't start even with a jump, which is actually quite common. First, it could be an issue with the battery itself—maybe it's completely dead or too old to hold a charge even when jumped. Second, there might be a problem with the jumper cable connections, like loose or corroded clamps preventing current flow, or the other car's battery being too weak. Another possibility is an electrical issue with the vehicle itself, such as a blown fuse or a faulty charging system. In such cases, avoid forcing it to prevent component damage. It's best to first check if the cable connections are clean and secure. If that doesn't work, contact a repair shop immediately. Regularly testing your battery voltage can help prevent unexpected surprises.
As an owner of a Geely Emgrand, I found that failed jump-starts are often related to daily usage issues. In my case, it might be due to improperly connected jumper cables, reversed positive/negative terminals, or loose screws; or the battery itself could have reached its lifespan, with leakage or corroded plates; alternatively, the vehicle might have been parked too long, completely draining the battery. When dealing with this problem, I first turn off all electrical switches before reattempting the cable connection. If it still doesn't work, it means I need to replace the battery or check the charger. Safety first - never operate in rainy conditions to avoid electric shock. By the way, the Geely Emgrand's battery is located under the hood where dust easily accumulates - a simple cleaning often solves the problem. Remember to schedule regular maintenance to avoid being caught off guard at critical moments.
When encountering a Geely Emgrand that won't jump-start, I usually start with basic troubleshooting steps: first check if the jumper cables are securely connected to the correct battery terminals (mixing them up can cause a short circuit); then test the battery voltage - if it's below 12 volts, it won't hold a charge; also clean any oxidized battery terminals. If these don't work, it might be a blown fuse or internal wiring short. Don't attempt DIY repairs - it's safer to call a mechanic.
