Car not starting
|
|
|
Hi there have a 2009 Chevy traverse with 90,000 miles. About a month and a half ago I changed my battery. The old one was 9 Years old and I would have to jump it in very cold weather. The new battery seemed to cure the problems with the car starting.2 weeks ago I go out to start my car and after running perfectly an hour before it doesn't turn over there is no power at all to the car and the keys are stuck in the ACC position.after several minutes of trying to get the key out jiggling the steering wheel ect the lights and radio come back on and power is back and it started right up. Yesterday the same problem accured car won't turn over not even a sound while attempting to start no lights no radio no electricity or power to anything and key stuck in ACC position. Any information is helpful and appreciated thanks.

You have a poor connection somewhere, probably at the battery cables since that was recently messed with.

Same mostly: Battery cable ends, both ends of each and about all other grounding straps at least the ones you see must be lubed or the crap zinc metal gives out. Not all but most.
Other: Pushing a battery 9 years is seriously not good. Mark them when known new and known good so you can see it. Toss it just because of time you choose 3-4 years is enough for most, some don't make that,

Thanks to both of you. The positive battery terminal was loose. Once tight it started right up thanks again
