Default Re: Not Cranking, Not Starting

Before you guys spend any money, make sure your battery cables are nice and tight. I'm telling you, my car started fine, and one day it would not; not even with jumper cables. It's when I wiggled the jumper cables that it started, then it started fine several times. Again, the next day it didn't start. At that point I tapped the battery connectors with my pliers, and I noticed my radio and lights went on. That's when I realized the cables were not tight enough. I tighten them and it's been fine ever since. This is about a year ago.

It may be something else, but it doesn't cost anything to tighten the battery bolts.
