Help, my car will not turn over at all. My battery is good, and my alternator tested good.
The ground wires seem fine.

Hi,

Do you mean the starter won't engage and turn the engine, or does it engage and the engine refuses to run?

If the starter does nothing, there are fuses and a relay that will need to be checked, but I need to know if this has a 3.0L or a 3.3L v6 to access the correct wiring schematics. Let me know which you have. Also, here is a link you may find helpful. Take a look through it and let me know if it helps.

Let me know.

The car will not turn on/ start. ( We were driving fine, on and off all day. I parked it, we came out 25 minutes later and it would not start. 10 mins. Later it started. I drove it directly to an auto store. They told me to turn engine off and when I tried to start i, not 3 minutes later, it would not start up. Been down ever since).

Hi,

If the starter is working, try this. See if it will start if you use starting fluid. If it starts or tries to start and then stalls, chances are we have a fuel related issue.

If there is no change, I need you to check for spark at the spark plugs.

Here is a link that explains how to check:

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
