Today i turned off my car and it wouldnt start back up.The battery is not dead cause the radio and the lights work.It has happened befor but usually starts working after a little while.This time we had to jam the key as far in as possoble 2 get it 2 work.I got home and tried 2 restart it again but this time the "trick" didnt work any ideas?

 

Is the starter engaging?

If not, is it clicking?

If not, do the dash lights dim when you try to start?



If it's not turning over and the lights aren't dimming, try taking it out of park and put it back into park. My Jeep did that yesterday, the neutral safety switch needs adjustment.

 

Neutral safety switch. Ask me how I know....

 

Yeah, I was glad the PO pointed it out before he sold it, otherwise I would have been freaking out.

 

can i just take it 2 the shop 2 hav them fix it or can my dad fix it?

 

Either one but the shop will replace it and the switch is $150 or so. And it can be rebuilt by anyone who will take their time and be careful. Read this procedure HERE

 

thanks blue
