Why does the car dashboard not light up and the engine fail to start?
1 Answers
When the car dashboard does not light up and the engine fails to start, it is usually caused by a dead battery. The reasons are: 1. Additional installed components are draining power, causing the battery to continuously discharge without recharging, leading to a depleted battery. 2. The battery's lifespan has expired, making it unable to hold a charge, resulting in a complete discharge. Other reasons why a car may not start include: 1. Incorrect gear position. Solution: For automatic transmission cars, the gear should be in P or N position when starting. 2. Not depressing the clutch. Manual transmission cars will not start if the clutch is not depressed. 3. Excessive carbon buildup in the vehicle can also prevent the engine from starting.
