This morning I started my car up just fine and let her warm up for a good 5-7minutes. After about half a block of driving she suddenly died... when I went to start her again, she wouldn't turn over? I won't be able to diagnose the problem until tonight, so I am looking for some place to start. Thanks

 

What do you mean by won't turn over?
Hit the starter and nothing?
Hit the starter, motor rotates but no fire?

Makes a difference on where to start looking.

 

Sorry, I turn the ignition and nothing happens. There is at least some power coming from the battery, as my dome light was working as well as my alarm system.

 

check all the wires going to the solenoid next to the battery.

happened to me the other day and one of the red wires fell out. i have to recrimp it to make it stay for good but when i shoved it back in it started up right away.

 

Check if the wires on the battery are arcing. I just had that happen a while ago, and the wires' insulation was getting weak and they started arcing. Electrical tape was a temporary fix until I got new wires/clamps. I noticed by leaving the hood up and looking at the battery through the little gap between the hood and the car. When I saw smoke, I knew something was arcing.

 

Start with removal and cleaning of battery terminal clamps. Then follow the battery cables to the next connection and clean those. Do both the hot and ground side. It is also possible to have enough corrosion in the battery cable that it is not allowing through enough juice to crank the engine even though the interior lights shine.

If cleaning the connections doesn't work, get the battery tested. Poor connections could have prevented the battery from being recharged.

 

First, make sure the engine can turn over by hand, if not, you have big problems..

 

Thanks for the tips guys. I will check it out when I get home tonight. Hopefully it is nothing huge, as this is my daily driver.

 

A dollar to a hole in a dount says you have a dead battery. Now, replace it and find out why it died. Age, not getting enough voltage from the VR, corrosion, dry cells, etc.

 

I just replaced it about 4 months ago. Everything was running fine up until now with no noticeable glitches. Well, it will still be under warranty, so at least I can swap it.
