Hey all,
My car hasn't been starting up the first time i try anymore...this started two days ago. It is completely silent when i try to start up the car. All my lights work in the car and the radio and horn work...I don't think this is battery related. At work today all I did was go back and forth between trying to start the car and pulling around on some of the cables and the car starts up randomly (I am not convinced me playing with cables actually did anything but just coincidence). I don't think any of my cables are loose or corroded...but maybe like my alternator is about to die completely? am I sorta right? lol. Car has 60k miles on it too btw!

Thanks for any replies in advanced

 

It's more likely a corroded/loose cable.

 

If it's not a loose/corroded cable like Al suggested and the lights stay on and electronics work, then it's probably your starter.

 

I'll check the cable that goes into the alternator to see if its loose or corroded. Didn't have a chance to get the car jacked up yet to get better access to the alternator. Come to think of it i remember this happening to a friends car and it was a bad connection going to the alternator. I'll update once I check things out
