Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. The hard part is not knowing whether you have any cranking from the engine when you try starting - and it doesn't start - or if there is no cranking at all - like it's dead. If so, is there anything powered? Dash lights, radio, anything? Diagnostic testing goes two different ways depending on which is happening. No crank: Battery test, starting and charing system test, checking cables are clean and secure. Crank no start: checking fuel, spark and air for presence and proper mixture. Once it's determined what is missing from the needed elements, testing more specifically in that area is needed. Hands on testing by technicians near you is my best recommendation. https://repairpal.com/auto-repair-near-me Click the link or call us at 877-913-1554.
