My car won't start sometimes. When I get in the car I notice that the dome light works. As I turn the key the radio will come on. When I get to the last notch of turning the key the car clicks one time, all the dash lights stop working, dome light goes out, ect. If I try again nothing works. However, if I pop the hood and remove the battery (just disconnecting the cables) and then immediately put it all back the car will then start just fine. Sometimes I won't have a problem for 3 months. Sometimes it will happen 3 times in a row. I've done my best to clean the nodes on the battery. Not really sure if i'm doing a bad job or hunting down the wrong track. Thanks!

Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Dec 23, 2012, 3:48 AM Post #3 of 3 (2298 views) Re: Car sometimes won't start Sign In Whatever vehicle this is that problem smacks of bad battery cable connections at the battery. You've cleaned them up and said that worked for a while but they are probably too gone now and need either quality new cable ends or whole cables, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
