If your car will not start and the engine barely turns or does nothing at all, a dead battery is often the cause. Here is what to do next.
If Someone Can Give You a Jump
Use jumper cables and connect the correct terminals. Let the donor car run for a few minutes before you try starting yours. If it starts, drive for at least 15-20 minutes so the alternator can recharge the battery.
