If you have experienced either of the scenarios above or any number of other circumstances that are similar, you have probably also heard from someone “It’s your battery” or “It’s your alternator”, but what is the problem? You can find out for sure when you bring your vehicle into Victory Hyundai at The Legends for a diagnostic. The technicians in our Service Center can run a computer diagnostic to learn what is keeping your vehicle from starting and correct the problem.
If you are having trouble starting your vehicle, it is likely one of the following problems with your ignition and starting system or your battery.
If your battery is healthy and fully charged and your vehicle still won’t start, you can look at problems with the starter, the alternator, spark plugs, fuses, or the ignition switch. Other actions you can take to help with starting problems include cleaning the terminals and connectors. If they are dirty and corroded, it can prevent the electrical spark from getting through to start the engine. Having your battery tested when you have problems with your vehicle starting is the first and best step to rule out battery issues as the culprit. This can only be done with a voltmeter and if you don’t have one, have your technicians at Victory Hyundai at The Legends test your battery. They will let you know if the battery is nearing the end of its life or if it isn’t the problem.
