ahhhhh car wont start!!

Hello

I replaced my fog lights again. Then when i try to start my car it begins to turn over a little then just dies.

My brakes are stuck tho!! I cant press it more than an inch.

All the electrical stuff works.

What is wrong??

thanks

Sounds like your battery got discharged.

The vacuum assist on the brakes also goes down after you step on the pedal a few times while the motor is off. Pretty sure that is normal.

yes! your battery requires at least 12.5 volts to crank up your car and if you got less than that it'll just cut off after you try to start it but everything else will still work just very low on battery.

believe it or not many members here had already experience what you are lol. try getting a jump and see what happens. it's not gonna do any harm
