I’ve recently replaced the battery in my Chevy Equinox, but now it won’t start. I’ve double-checked all connections, and everything seems secure, but no luck. I’m reaching out because I need some advice on what to check next.
Possible Issues to Consider:
Battery Connections: Even though I tightened the terminals, could there be a corrosion issue that I missed?
Fuses: Are there any specific fuses related to the starting system that might have blown during the battery swap?
Ignition System: Could the ignition or starter be getting affected by this battery change? I haven’t done any work on those parts recently.
Electrical Systems: Are there common electrical issues that might happen when replacing the battery on a Chevy Equinox?
What I’ve Tried:
Re-checking and cleaning the battery terminals.
Trying to jump-start the vehicle, but it still doesn’t crank.
Confirming that the new battery is fully charged.
If anyone has experienced a similar issue or has tips on what to look out for, I would greatly appreciate your input. Could this be a simple fix or something more involved? Looking forward to your suggestions!
I had a similar issue after replacing my battery. It could be a connection problem or a blown fuse. Double-check those connections to make sure they’re tight and clean.
Also, don’t forget to inspect the ignition system. A faulty ignition switch may be an issue, especially after battery work. It happened to a friend of mine!
I had a similar issue when I replaced my battery. After installing, I forgot to secure the connections properly which led to starting problems. Always check those connections!
