I have a Mercury Mystique and My car wouldn’t start after I didn’t start it for a week and it snowed. It also had about a half a tank of gas in it.However the car still turns on. Do I need a new battery? Or what is wrong with my car?

I have a 95 chevy astro van that won’t start, had the battery
checked. The battery is fully charged and is good, just recently
Put on a new starter less than a year, just had a fuel pump
Put in a month ago, it was starting up just fine. I notice
one day when tried to start it it kind of dragged a little
but did eventually started, was able to drive it a few days
it started up fine, then one morning after sitting a couple
Of days tried to start it, it did nothing no cranking sound
Or anything, lights, radio, heater horn everything works.

Took the battery to auto zone battery was good. Needed
A little charge had it charged. No corrosion on the battery
cables…. All I hear is a slight wining sound but it don’t
seem to be coming from the starter, the slight wining
sound seems to be coming from under the hood, but don’t know
where, I can hear the fuel pump engaging. One other thing
is when I replaced the starter did not replace the solenoid
….. Have no idea what it could be

My falcon ute 06 model dedicated gas suddenly wont start, makes fast clicking buzzing noise then when ignition is turned off keeps clicking more slowly about the speed and sound of the hazard lights operating and nothing else works
The diagnostic warning light comes up not to start the car
Has oil and water and gas battery is 2 years old
Any ideas?

I have a problem sometimes with my car.About a month ago or so,sometimes when i turn on the car it doesn’t start all the way , just the lights and radio.Then i have to either wait a bit for it to start normal again when i put the key in or I have to turn the key more back when i put it in,which I try not to do.I did have my car parked for a couple of years and just started driving it about six months ago,but I dont know if that has anything to do with it. Its a 2002 pontiac grand prix,and like i said before.It only happens sometimes,maybe once a week.

I have a 2009 SRT8 Dodge Challenger and when the outside temp get about 95 degrees or higer and the car has been shut up it won’t reconize my wireless fob. I have to pop out the starter button out of the dash and insert the fob into the dash then it will start. After I drive a few miles and the car cools down I pop the wireless button back in and it works fine. I have had it to the dealer several times trying to get it fixed. They have replaced the fob’s and the wireless button in the dash but the problem is still there. The dealer had another SRT8 come in with the same problem that they couldn’t fix.
Dodge is working on the problem but no word on a fix yet. Does anybody have any input for this problem.

Hi, I have a 2003 Chevy Cavelier. I drove it home last night and had no problems. Tonight I tried to leave and it kept stalling. After I had to restart it about 8 times to get it back in my driveway. I went inside for a minute to grab a flashlight and when I came out to try and start it again it won’t start at all. The lights and all that work fine. I live in eastern carlolina and it has been hot and humid. It did rain today so I didn’t know if maybe the moisture would have something to do with it. After looking online it seems like a fuel pump, just wondering if it might be something else.
