Why Does the Car Make Abnormal Noises and Fail to Start When Igniting?

[VincentMarie]

Abnormal noises and failure to start when igniting the car may be due to reasons such as a locked steering wheel, a dead battery, or lack of antifreeze. Is the steering wheel locked: The solution is simple. Just turn the steering wheel forcefully while turning the key, and generally, the steering wheel lock can be quickly released, allowing the car to start almost instantly. Check if the battery has power: Failure to start may be caused by a drained battery due to reasons like leaving the headlights on for a long time or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. Generally, the battery should be replaced in time according to the maintenance manual. Lack of antifreeze: Some car owners add water or low-quality antifreeze to their cars, which can cause the entire cooling system to freeze in extremely cold winter conditions, leading to a cracked engine and rendering the car's water pump inoperable. This not only prevents the car from starting but also damages other engine components.
