Have the battery charged andtested first. once a good power source is in there, take a volt meter and test your battery terminals for at least 13.5 volts. if not replace the alternator.

How can i bypass the alarm/immobiliser on Autowatch 446RLI the car battery died, after charging the car battery the car won't start. it is dead quite when turning the key even thou the dash is lit.

Try getting a friend to boost start your battery with his vehicle and see if your car will crank. If your car cranks over - you have a faulty battery.

Check your battery leads, particularly the black earth lead where it connects to the engine/bodywork.
It's worth pointing out that a failed battery will charge up to a certain extent - however there isn't sufficient power in that battery to crank the engine even though all your dashboard lights are illuminated.
Get somebody to try boost-starting your battery first.

If you're sure that your battery is ok (or if connected to another vehicle): Put your ignition key in and turn it on/off a few times. Leave it in the 'on' position for 2-3 minutes. Give the system time to re-recognise the key

It actually sounds to be battery problem

My 2006 bmw 325i will only crank if its boosted off my battery is fairly new

If it will crank and start when boosted, then I would have the battery tested. Even though it is fairly new, they can be defectively manufactured and end up getting bad internal plates. If the battery tests good, then the starter motor may be drawing too much current.

Battery died, changed battery and now engine wont crank.

Look for a blown starter fuse or fusible link in your underhood block. Also look for what made it blow.

When starting car starter turns engine over slow. battery seems to be good unless it doesnt have enough cranking amps. battery test is good altenator working good

It sounds like the battery don't have the cranking amps needed to turn the engine over fast enough. Even though it is starting, soon it will drain more and won't start.

My car doesnt start in cold weather and unless boosted. had the battery checked and the alternator checked all was good. changed the negative batter terminal clamp. could it still be the battery.

It could still be the battery, if it has a weak cell and depending on how weak it is, it may or may not show up on the test. Get a battery with a higher cold cranking amps than the one you have now. If there is no other problem that should cure it.

Car won't start horn blows, all lights interior and exterior comes on even the lights on the dash, etc. but car won't start. just experienced this problem 3 days ago for first time but cranked without a...

Sounds like you had a weak battery,and now it's a dead battery. Go get you're charging system checked. Auto Zone does if for free. Could be an alternator too but it most likely your battery. And they'll put in your new battery for ya too. FREE!

Good luck

Car alarm doesnt work after dead battery boost

The computer detected a fault. You SHOULD NOT drive it around with that blinking, or you will regret it. Take it to the dealership immediately and have them pull the code.
