My car was running fine. I change the oil, ran it for a while, turned it off, checked the oil level and all is fine. Then I get in the car to start it to pull into the garage and it won't start. The dash flickers on and off and the engine tries to turn over, but won't. My guess is a battery, but it just seems like a big coincidence since I happened to me working on the car. Any thoughts?

 

Check battery voltage, Anything < 12V suggests a weak or discharged battery. Possible you left something on while changing oil?

Batteries can fail unexpectedly and fast. An internal short develops that quickly discharges battery.

good luck

 

It was the battery. Just weird timing. Thanks.
