Moved this for you. Can you give more details on your car please? Year, make, model, etc...

Also more description on the problem. Do you turn the key and absolutely nothing happens? Does it crank but not turn over? Does it crank, turn over, and then die? Details are key if you want any useful reponses.

depending on the car the voltage regulator could be bad.had that problem with my mark when i got it 3years ago plus a crappy battery.

If it doesn't crank, you probably have a bad starter. Also, check your wiring. Sometimes, when I start my car, it'll just click and everything dies. I just have to pop the hood and wiggle the wiring around. I should get that fixed soon, but I'm poor and lazy. Also, load test your battery. It might read 12v, but under load it might drop to 9 or worse. If it keeps on cranking over and over, I'd check out the fuel system. My Jeep did this and it just needed a fuel pump.

All the best!

I have to ask, how do you know what his car looks like? He didn't post any pictures and there's nothing in his garage. Also, there's plenty of other it could have trouble starting instead of just alternator and battery.

But thanks for the free spam.
