Buick Encore won't turn over after new battery installation, makes ticking noise when off on Buick Encore

Some Buick Encore owners report experiencing issues where the vehicle won't turn over after a new battery installation, accompanied by a ticking noise when off. These problems can stem from an incomplete battery capacity, as a new battery may not yet provide sufficient power for starting the vehicle. Additionally, some owners find that a dead battery, characterized by hard starting or slow cranking, can lead to clicking noises when attempting to start the engine. Starter problems are also noted, as a failed starter can prevent the vehicle from turning over, resulting in either a clicking sound or complete silence. Furthermore, a fast clicking noise when turning the ignition key may indicate low voltage or high resistance in the electrical system, suggesting deeper electrical issues. It is advisable for owners facing these symptoms to check the battery's capacity, inspect for dead battery signs, examine the starter, and assess the electrical system. If problems persist, consulting a mechanic for a thorough diagnosis and repair is recommended.
