Car will not start SolvedSolved

Toyota Corolla 2004 1.8l 100000 miles
I just got home, then went to go back out and the car will not start. All the lights, radio, air came on but nothing. I turned everything off and still nothing. The fuel pump sounded like it went on, but nothing from the starter. My guess is the starter is shot, but maybe a wire? If you have any insight, please let me know. It's an automatic

Check your ground wire on the battery and starter. Lots of times it's the one on the starter. If it's not that replace your starter.

Car has hesitation start and power steering delay

Toyota Corolla 2014 Power steering 57289 miles
One day rainy day I went to start my car and it acted as of the starter was broken. It wasn't even clicking. Then the whole car locked up. So I waited for a minute and then it started. From then a few days later it starts semi fine because I can hear a slight hesitation is the engine starting and when I go to drive the power steering does not work. I have to let the car sit after the engine starts for a couple seconds before I can drive for the power steering to kick in. What is going on. Never had any issues or accidents with this car before.

you mean the selfstarter doesnt work or the switch. if its the self starter itself it most likely needs to be overhauled. you need to change the carbons as its 13 years old at tjis point. its not to expensive to do.

Check battery make sure 12.3v > Both battery terminals and wires need to be completely CLEAN 0.002mm of corrosion will not start or crank > Check negative wire connection to ground bolted under battery, clean it. This is a dead battery OR dirty/broken connection issue

Keeping Getting different electrical issues - is there a hidden cause?

Toyota Corolla 1994  200000 miles
1994 Corolla DX, generally in good running condition. Problem one: drove the car to a restaurant parking lot, picked up my food, went to the car to drive home and it wouldn’t start at all. No warning or precursor whatsoever. Tow it to a mechanic, replace the starter and “maintainence to wires”, seems to work okay for a week or so. Problem two: drove car to park, drove home. Noticed that the brake lights were on, even when the car was parked, key off, no one in it. Deduced it must be the brake pedal or switch. Takes a while to take it to my usual mechanic, he replaces the brake switch. Seem… Read complete
