Dead Battery / Bad Starter

[Gobird]

Do you know if the engine is getting fuel?

Doesn't even try to turn over.

Dealer took 2 hours to test the battery,

I would still replace the battery, they can test fine and still need replacing I had that same thing happen with a Ford dealer and I told them to replace the battery anyway and the problem was fixed.

I am replacing the battery with a new one. I have had this car for almost 20 years and I know how it acts with a low battery. It's taking a chance but I'll take that chance. If it doesn't work then I'll be calling the flat bed.

This winter i killed my new battery
had low voltage several times the car discharged the battery in one week and i did not foundout why
then i forgot to charge it some weeks and now i cant fully charge it.
but i found the problem, i have installed a new amplifire in the trunk where the sparewheel was and that one is on all the time (ihope that was the problem)

Got the new battery, made it to the trunk but not installed yet. That sucker is heavy. Will work on it tomorrow.

New battery didn't salve the problem, won't even try to turn over. Flat bed to dealer is the next step.

Do you hear the starter make a (clunk) noise when it slams into the flywheel like it is supposed to do?

P.S, Wear you hearing aid.

No click............. no nothing. Just silence

So far so good.
A click or clunk and no turning may have been engine issue. Not so.

May be just corroded connection on starter solenoid, etc..

I don't worry about what is wrong, that's what the dealer is for. Quite working on cars when I retired and got old.

Probably corroded from the Florida humidity and lack of use.

Always possible but I'm not crawling under the car.

I’m with you.

I would still have someone check for voltage at the starter before calling the tow truck. I too cannot get under cars anymore but that is what son-in-laws and grandsons are for!

I but that is what son-in-laws and grandsons are for!

None of them here, all in Pa.
