Will not crank over?

Un-JEWG, CJ?

Good evening,

Sounds like you have a low or dead battery. I would check the voltage at the battery to see if there is enough power for it to run the car.

You need 12.4 to 12.6 volts.

Check all the lines carefully. It could be under the hood, under the car or back by the tank.

Do not drive it until you find the source of the leak.

Roy

Ohhhhhhhh-kayyyyythen. I don't understand un-jewg, but I'll believe you.

Nope, not like that. That is a fire risk. You do not want to take a chance with kids in the car.

Juke Joint. As in jukebox, but normally meaning with a live band.

Nope. Never heard of "jewg-ing" an electric cord. No big deal.

Sounds like a very low battery or bad connection to the battery. Lights and radio combined do not draw the amount of power a starter motor takes.
I would either put a charger on the battery or if you have a way to take it and have it tested. While it is out clean the battery connections at both ends and once you have a good battery reconnect it and see what it does.
Used to be I would say try to jump start it but if you have a bad connection that can actually cause a problem.

Use the headlights like a test light. Turn then on, then also turn on the dome light or open the door, then watch the dome light unless your headlights are pointing close enough to a wall, then turn the key to start and watch the lights.
1. Normal would be them dim slightly and the starter crank over fast enough to start the engine.
2, If the lights dim heavy but still barely on and the starter crank slow, or the solenoid click, click, click, then that means a weak or drained battery.
3. If the lights go out completely and maybe just one click from the starter and/or solenoid, that usually means a loose electrical connection so twist the battery cable ends and make sure none are loose.
4. If the lights do nothing, that is stay bright, and the starter either does nothing or maybe you hear a starter relay click once, that usually means either the starter or the solenoid is bad, the starter relay is bad, a bad ignition switch, neutral safety and switch bad or a blown fuse.

Okay, just do not drive the car.

You are welcome.

Hello,

This sounds to me like your battery is completely dead. Sometimes after time or from being run completely dead to many times, a vehicle's battery will be sulfated and unable to take a charge. When this happens there is no way to bring a battery back. It is done. Just to make sure could you please take a voltage reading across the battery terminals for me. You will need to use a multi-meter to do this and I have included a link below telling you how to use one if you unfamiliar with them:

Please go through the guide, if needed, and get back to us with the voltage reading.

Thanks,
Alex

Have a starter draw test done it when the engine is hot. You can also try banging on the side of the starter with a mallet to see if that causes it to turn over.
