Note: Make sure you check the manufacture date of the battery. A lot of times batteries sit on the shelf and which decreases their age and you will need to replace the battery a lot sooner.
I have always wanted to start a car flipping business. I held back because of my limited technical knowledge. But thanks to your videos I now think I can fix most of the problems myself.. Thank you for boosting my confidence.
Just beautiful. You're always So thorough and detailed about what you're doing. Love how you ask the viewers to think about the problem before saying exactly what it is and doing it yourself; helps ppl bring out the mechanic in them. Great Work Chris!
Jorge Marcial I am glad you liked that! I wanted to change up the video a little bit and show my thought process and have the viewers try to think though the problem as well! I am super happy with the feedback! Thanks Jorge!
edzgt5 High concentration blinker fluid is recommended for long periods of sustained use. If you use your blinkers frequently for an extended period of time, then yes.
I’m gonna be starting van life soon so that means I need to educate myself on cars... your videos are soooo educational, I’ve learned so much from you already in just a week :)
This video is a Godsend. My friend was teaching me how to drive stick-shift. Next thing we know the car didn't turn on. I troubleshooted as instructed in this video, and realized that the clutch safety switch was not working properly. I just pressed on the clutch really hard, turned the key, and the car turned on. We're replacing the safety switch tomorrow. Thank you! You saved us hundreds of dollars in repairs... for free!
I know this video is old but I would like to say I was an hour away from my house and this was the first video I clicked out and I got my car working again, thanks Chris!!!
It's really cool to see how well your videos age. Even though you've come a long way production-wise, the information is still excellent and very easy to understand!
I've watched 8 other videos and yours is the only one who laid it out and made it simple and went through these steps and actually described things! Thank you!
This really helped me out. My car was doing the same thing and you showed me some cool tips just to make sure it's the battery that's the problem and nothing else. Been binge watching all your vids, keep it up! Subscribed 👍🏽
Use petroleum jelly to coat ALL battery connections. This keeps the battery acid from forming on the posts and corroding the connections. If your ground connection to the engine is easy to get to, use the petroleum jelly there and on the fuse box connection if you can get to it. I have been doing this for almost 50 years, it is so cheap, and it WORKS! Why spend money on fancy chemicals that needs reapplications over time? Vaseline, or store brand petroleum jelly is exactly the same, and works better than spray can protestants. Smear the jelly liberally over the terminals and posts, install, and wipe the excess off.
It is a huge subject to tackle, looks like you did really good. Most drivers don't want to have knowledge of how every little thing on the car works. This is info everyone should have.
James Fenton Thanks James! Yea, there can be 1000000 things wrong. I figured I would just show everoyne my thought process and go though the steps for this particular situation.
When i went to bring my 95 ford taurus to the scrap 5yrs ago (due to a cracked chasis), i took out the battery from the engine bay a quarter mile before arriving and it ran the rest of the way just on the alternator xD
Travis Judd Thanks a lot Travis! Yea, they dont use that type of battery anymore. The new battery I got was from walmart. Hopefully it will last just as long!
Hey chris, just wanted to let you know that since watching a few of your videos, you've inspired me to take more time and initiative for my own car when I get one. I am planning to buy my first car in the next few months and stumbled across your channel while researching manual cars and specs and I find your videos quite entertaining to watch, even if my interest in cars is minimal. My interest has been growing since watching your channel, though. Keep up the great work :)
I have owned my 01 ranger for 10 years now. Chrisfix has helped me with almost every maintenance repair on it. I love the fact that he teaches the technical dynamics of the most simple repairs and still makes the technical repairs seem easy.
This is a very useful video. I had exactly the same problem and I followed all the steps as detailed by Chris and helped me identify and resolve the issue. Thanks much!!
Just a few KISS methods I've seen in my line of work. Check the battery cables to see if they are clean and tight. Have had a few occasions where that happens. Even had a woman whose husband used zip ties to hold the negative cable on. Also had an incident where a woman had her steering wheel locked. Simply turn the key and steering wheel at the same time. Lastly, I had a customer that hit something in the road and broke the bushing loose on her transmission shifter. Plenty more stuff but just some other things to consider.
My 1985 F250 6.9 IDI I just bought today that has been sitting since 1995 is making the wanting to start sound like in the beginning of the video. It have two 2007 batteries in my truck. I was told if I charge it up and put the batteries back in it should start. I knew the batteries were bad. I planned on replacing them right away. It started RIGHT UP! Now I have brakes and other stuff to do on the truck. So excited. Helpful video!
Great video. However I think it misses the possibility of a flooded engine. Try turning on the ignition while flooring the accelerator. Sometimes this will get it started, especially on cold days.
Man this guy is a True about evrything Proof:- I was with my family on road trip for a marriage occasion. The road was not opened for some reason, I Just stopped my car on a patrol pump and went to wash room, when I came back and tried to start my car it wont start, luckily a mechanic's shop was nearby so I too my car There. I tried to jump start with a car and a battery but couldnt start as it was a honda civic 2014 and the car was small which tried to jumpstart. The mechanic took my battery and changed it. White he was charging this video came in my mind and i started watching it. After he put the battery back the car did start up but the time was reset and same happened in this video and then I changed the battery of it.
At the time that your folks purchased that ford, there was a lot of press saying it was the safest minivan. That is the reason my wife and I purchased one.
If you think it's the battery, you should also check the fluid levels in the battery. Low fluid will prevent the battery holding charge. You can top them up with de-mineralised water and then charge them. This will fix them most times.
My moms 01’ Grand Prix se wouldn’t start this morning. It would crank and soon, the starter wouldn’t even go. The problem was a phone charger that does not shut off with the car, and so I unplugged it. few hours pass by and we jump it with the f150. Turns on and it’s all good. It still takes a little more cranking to turn over but after a little bit of idling, she’s all good.
Hey Chris! One month update, new battery is in the car, alternator is all good. Emissions control is also fixed. She starts like a dream and everything from clogged windshield washer lines to air conditioning has been properly repaired. Now all that’s left is a “Service engine soon” light. I’m so happy with this car and it’s in its final stages of being a perfect, healthy, maintained vehicle for us! We are looking at a 2007 Cadillac Escalade with 173k miles and there are problems with the manifold bolts (common problem on these trucks) but when I check under the vehicle, I’m telling you this was the most clean anti-rust frame I’ve seen in a while. My dads 09’ suburban can’t say the same. I hope we get it, it’s only $11,500 with minor fixes to be done to it. And lastly, I want to thank you for all your help with car repair, care, and diagnostic videos. I apologize in advance if I shortened your time on anything, and I wish you the best of luck in future projects!
Seven years, dang. Mine lasted a decade (2011 model Actyon Sports, the only pickup truck made by South Korean car manufacturer) and it still manages to start the engine in -20C (negative four degrees in Fahrenheit or something after a week after last engine running). I already flushed break fluid, engine oils like 8 times, power steering fluid, differential oil (Koreans call it axle oil tho) and even blinker fluid (lmao) thanks to you. It's time to swap out the battery now.
You just help me fix my no started issue. It was battery acid on the positive terminal. I just forgot that could be a cause. It wasn’t even that bad but that was the issue. Thank you.
Sharing my experience with this same issue. Trying to start the car (Honda CR-V 2002 AT), all that happens is there is a single click sound coming from somewhere, and no cranking takes place. Tried multiple times, and the same just happens. I checked the terminal connections in the battery if they were loose; nope, they were nice and tight. Tried replacing the battery with a new one (since the old one had a history of being totally discharged a couple of months prior); the issue still persists. The problem all along was a blown fuse for the fuel pump. The fuse box was below the steering column. Good thing there were spare fuses with the correct ampere rating in the fuse box under the hood. Replacing the said fuse fixed my issue.
2 times my truck did not start. The radio, lights came one but still wouldnt start. Hooked up jumper cables, did not start. I TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS AND IT STARTS. Truck is such a troll
This vid helped me help my brother start his chevy van he went out and rented the fuel pump tester when it was the batt .. well go from there now also were cleaning the throttle and sensors thanks for making this vid very helpful
hey chris, listen, i was told some time ago this, and now i took notice, so ot may be a good idea to share with you. so after you put the ignition key and turn on the battery, i was told to wait a litle for the fuel pump to load before starting the engine, another thing is when the engine starts,to let it get hot,and if possible never to start going rear with cold engine. If you would like you can make a video about litle thing like these and maybe debunk some myths. Good job man!
I know everyone has a opinion, but I prefer Fords over other manafactures, I have a Ford Focus C-Max 2005, quite a old battery but still as good as when it was new and I think its the original battery too
***** OMG yeah I love Ford Escort Mk5, I live in England and went up to skegness last week, We went to a banger cars race thingy and there was a Ford Escort that was dead but he kept on going, He broke down and he got going again, Escorts are a really lasting car
ChrisFix i posted your drift stang paint on forza horizon 3 and so far 200 people bought it ... i put your youtube name in the name and said to go check your channel out
@@jashan0417_ My battery died (lost a cell, went from 12V to 9V) after 16 years of faithful service. The new battery is now over 6 years old. My little car is over 22 years old. The only time it refused to start, was when said old battery died. One "no start" in more than 22 years... Amd counting.
@@jashan0417_ My car is 22+ years old. After 16 years of faithful service, the original battery was finally over it. The new battery is now 6 years old - and incredible strong. The only time my little car ever refused to start - was when the 16 year old battery lost it. Lost a battery cell, so it was now 9 volt. Why are you talking about an inverter?
Someone i know was telling me that they were looking at a 1990 honda crx. This was in 2008/2009 the guy who was selling it wasn’t very mechanically inclined so he towed it to a shop and they tried selling him a bunch of new ignition parts which were totaling around $700. He brought it home and tried selling it and then my friend he went to look at it and knew it was a bad battery. He was able to get the car for $900 brought it home, fixed it and he’s still driving it today.
Chris, you may want to put up a small warning about changing the battery. I managed to damage my ECU when changing mine. It meant I had to take the bus for two months whilst I figured out the issue.
+8Beat Crotchet It could keep running, but you'll lose alot of juice, because the alternator charges the battery while driving, but if your alternator is bad, then you'll be losing alot of voltages from your battery

would you recommend high concentration blinker fluid for a pruis
edzgt5 High concentration blinker fluid is recommended for long periods of sustained use. If you use your blinkers frequently for an extended period of time, then yes.
They said I was addicted to drinking brake fluid, but I knew I could stop whenever I wanted.

Abdullah Ibrahim well my sisters car is a 2006 Corolla and the battery has lasted ever since my grandma bought the car
I bought a Corolla 2001 surprisingly the battery is 9 year old works perfectly so far.
I know everyone has a opinion, but I prefer Fords over other manafactures, I have a Ford Focus C-Max 2005, quite a old battery but still as good as when it was new and I think its the original battery too
***** OMG yeah I love Ford Escort Mk5, I live in England and went up to skegness last week, We went to a banger cars race thingy and there was a Ford Escort that was dead but he kept on going, He broke down and he got going again, Escorts are a really lasting car
FOUND OFF ROAD DEAD aka ford

I wonder how many people thought that was a censor beep.
It's amazing how far you've come good job!
Love you videos.

ChrisFix 😂😂
ChrisFix what happened to your ford battery

haha
hehe
hoho
ChrisFix i posted your drift stang paint on forza horizon 3 and so far 200 people bought it ... i put your youtube name in the name and said to go check your channel out
lol
THANK YOU!!!!! 😭 The battery was actually my problem...
Just saw this video now but if your power doors or power windows don't work then the battery will never crank or start a motor
Pretty sure mines a dead battery and I need a new starter but I wanted to make sure. Thanks!
Battery life 4 years on average??? Really??? How about 10 years? Anything less than 10 years is unacceptable.
It's a car battery not a inverter
@@jashan0417_ My battery died (lost a cell, went from 12V to 9V) after 16 years of faithful service. The new battery is now over 6 years old. My little car is over 22 years old. The only time it refused to start, was when said old battery died. One "no start" in more than 22 years... Amd counting.
@@jashan0417_ My car is 22+ years old. After 16 years of faithful service, the original battery was finally over it. The new battery is now 6 years old - and incredible strong. The only time my little car ever refused to start - was when the 16 year old battery lost it. Lost a battery cell, so it was now 9 volt.
Why are you talking about an inverter?
@@jashan0417_ So what?
Someone i know was telling me that they were looking at a 1990 honda crx. This was in 2008/2009 the guy who was selling it wasn’t very mechanically inclined so he towed it to a shop and they tried selling him a bunch of new ignition parts which were totaling around $700. He brought it home and tried selling it and then my friend he went to look at it and knew it was a bad battery. He was able to get the car for $900 brought it home, fixed it and he’s still driving it today.
Oh man! My battery is dead! (CLICK) I have an idea (Click) Here we go now! (BEEP) Hey guys ChrisFix here!
0:02 I'm to savage to have problems! Don't agree... then you played your self!
7 years video, I just watched and I'm satisfied.
someone's sprayed expanding foam up the exhaust 😁
Would that actually stop the car from starting? I would have thought the foam would just be blown out by the engine starting?
What if my car studders when i crank it and now it doesnt want to start, its only a tic noise. What could it be?
Either starter needs to be tinkered with or replaced or your battery is shot
Loose cable
Thank God for UA-cam... At least I know I'm not on my own 😂
lol. when he said, "when you go start your car" the video buffered.
+Stoned Canines the suspense
I remember I thought my car was gonna blow up because I couldnt start the car and it sounded like a fat man gasping for air after coming up the stairs
Chris, you may want to put up a small warning about changing the battery. I managed to damage my ECU when changing mine. It meant I had to take the bus for two months whilst I figured out the issue.
I can tell by how it sounds your battery was just dead
Yep!
what if the Alternator was faulty?
+8Beat Crotchet It could keep running, but you'll lose alot of juice, because the alternator charges the battery while driving, but if your alternator is bad, then you'll be losing alot of voltages from your battery
Car: *starts*
*happy Chrisfix noises*
