Re: 2001 Grand Am se 4dr won't start
you seems to have a dead battery. Mesure the voltage to confirm that the voltage is low. Then charge the battery. Once charged, disconnect the charger and try to start the car.
Once you tried starting, mesure again the voltage. If it failed and the voltage is higher than around 12.5V then you have a starter issue. If it started, ensure that you have atleast 13V at the battery. If you do not then you have an alternator issue. |
