Car does not start after a ride in cold storm

5

Asked by HondaBonda Jan 15, 2019 at 06:03 PM about the 2000 Honda Odyssey EX FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I drove my car in the recent snow storm.  I was able to shut off and start back
during the trip, but once parked overnight, it does not start.  I hear the
alternator trying to start it, but it could not.  Does not appear to be a battery
issue as all the lights come up ok.  Appreciate any help.

1 Answer

Alternators don't start cars. Ed is correct that cold weather is murder on batteries.
