- Your terminal connections could be poor.
- You may have replaced the battery, when that wasn't the issue to begin with, in which case you may wish to check other potential issues.
- It could be your starter (is it turning over but just not starting?)
- Fuel pump. (turn the key to "on" and listen for the pump)
- ignition coil
Hope that helps
bad battery or loose battery cable
The same way you started it before replacing the battery.
try replacing the alternator
is your battery in good condition and fully charged? is your starter good?
Could be your battery, starter, ignition, check them... would start with the battery !
get in the car and turn the key. if your unable to start it then something else went wrong.
Does it turnover?
There are many possible reasons why your 97 Jetta will not start. This may be due to mechanical problems in your engine, battery problems or problems with the wiring system among others.
Weak battery and no gas can both cause a no start.Weak battery and no gas can both cause a no start.
Yes Of Course. When Replacing Any Battery Remove The Negative Cable First, Then The Positive. Then Installing The New Battery Install The Positive Cable First Then The Negative. Dear reader; Many computer equiped autos have no protection against damage if the battery is installed backwards. Some have fuses in critical circuits which offer some protection. Jump starting can also cause these fuses to fail. Dwight
No
Certainly, a loose wire on the car battery can cause the car not to start.
