Common no‑start causes (and what to do first)

A dead battery is the usual culprit, but not the only one. Here’s how we triage a no‑start at your place.

Step 1: Battery & connections

We test state of charge and the health of the battery, then inspect terminals for corrosion or looseness.

Step 2: Starter & alternator

We check current draw on start, listen for solenoid operation, and measure alternator output and ripple.

Step 3: Fuel & ignition

OBD data helps pinpoint sensor faults, fuel pressure issues or ignition problems.
