Why does my car battery not work when it rains?
Why does my car battery not work when it rains?
The rain may not be part of the problem. Also, a battery conn. that is poor will work sometimes and not others. In this case there will be no cranking, and no click of the solenoid. Remove the ground conn from the battery, and clean the post and lug with a wire terminal brush.
Why does my Car Crank over but not start?
We have tested voltage at the starter relay and there is power used a jump wire at the starter relay and it cranks over but will not start. Tested the starter solenoid with a test light at the low voltage prong and when turn the key is turned over test light does not illuminate.
What should the battery voltage be to crank the engine?
Once your battery is at 12.6 volts, there will be no problem cranking the engine if the cables and connections are in good shape. When the engine is running, measure the battery’s voltage again.
What is the meaning of the sentence my car will not crank over?
Your first two sentences suggest the battery was run down, most likely from a system draw. A different battery will solve that until it runs down too. In your third sentence, unless the new battery was also discharged, you likely have a loose or dirty battery cable connection.

What does it mean when a car battery cranks?
Cranks, Just because a battery has good voltage does not mean that it can deliver current (which is what you really need to turn over a starter motor). Sounds like you need a new battery. Agree with the above two posts – your battery probably has a dead cell.
Can a battery have good voltage but no crank?
It has a bad cell.It will read good voltage until put under load then it will drop or it can have good voltage but no cranking amps. Cranks, Just because a battery has good voltage does not mean that it can deliver current (which is what you really need to turn over a starter motor). Sounds like you need a new battery.
Why does my car not start after I drain the battery?
A broken timing belt, timing chain or timing gear means you can crank the engine until you drain the battery, and it still won’t start. Likewise, a bad crankshaft position sensor won’t send the right signals to the engine computer to allow the engine to start. 8. Smart Key Issue
