I left the lights on in my 2000 jeep wrangler and the car wouldn’t start. I jumped the car and the engine would start as long as I kept giving it gas and kept the key turned. Once I took my foot of the gas the car died again. When it was on the lights could be turned on and the radio could be turned on. Do you think I need a new battery or a new alternator? Should I try a new battery first? Thx so much
My situation is weird. I have a 2001 Trans Am WS6 Gen III vehicle. Sometimes it will not start even thou everything seems fine. It is shift gear (6 speed). I replaced the clutch switch and the solenoid and starter relays. When it will not start, there are no indications as to what is wrong. For instance, I do not hear the starter complaining or the solenoid spinning. It simply does not crank at all. I sometimes depress the clutch switch manually with my hands while turning the switch and the car on neutral. I suspect the clutch switch is not grounding itself properly.
I have a 1975 Chevrolet nova and i replaced the battery a week ago. When i go to start it nothing works and the connections to the battery are fine, today i tried to jump start it and the same thing happened, nothing. before I put in this battery it would jump start with the old one too. Today I also checked the fuses and I didn’t see anything wrong. But i cant take it anywhere because I’m painting it right now but i don’t want to mess up my new engine by not starting it.
My 2001 Dodge Neon battery has to be jumped started each time I drive it and let it sit for an hour or so. Could this be just a bad battery or an alterntor problem?

Hi, I have a 2005 Dodge Neon SXT. When I try to start my car all I get is a clicking sound. Can you tell me what this could possibly be? The lights and the radio are working so I don’t know if it’s the battery or not.
