Did Your Car Start In This Cold Weather ?

Baby it's cold outside ! A weak battery that struggles to produce enough power in cold temperature in the freezing weather may be the reason. Cold weather significantly reduces a car battery's ability to hold a charge, making it harder to crank the engine. In cold weather, engine oil becomes thicker, which puts extra strain on the starter motor. If moisture gets into your fuel lines, it can freeze in extreme cold, preventing fuel from reaching the engine. If your car is getting older and it's possible that the starter is just getting too weak for the cold weather. You can try jump starting the your car. Warming up the battery by letting your car sit for a few minutes with the headlights on to provide a small charge to the battery Make sure the battery terminals are clean and securely connected. Turn the ignition key slowly and steadily, allowing the starter motor to engage properly If your car still won't start, contact your mechanic or roadside assistance service.
