no power when starting

[bskills]

Hi Guys,
Most recently, I tried starting my car and it losses all power. The complete car is dead. There is power when it is on accessory, but as soon as I try to start, it goes dead. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Check the battery terminals. make sure they're tight and the grounds that bolt to the transmission. they need to be tight.

As others said, dead battery/corroded terminals/loose connections. Stick the battery on charge at the lowest setting you can stand for as long as it takes, see if it's holding the proper charge and try again. Turning the engine over takes a lot more power than having all of the accessories on.

Thanks for all the help. Just to add that the battery is brand new. New terminals also. Found the problem. The car wasn't grounded properly. After tightening all the ground cables, the car started right up.

Don't you just love it when it's something small that fixes the problem? glad to hear you're back up and running.
