Honda CR-V General Question

My Mom has a \*98 Honda CRV. Recently she went to start it and the car would not turn over. She says it made a clicking noise, like a dead battery. The Honda Dealership checked the battery and said it was fine. This has happened one time since. Both times she was able to start it with jumper cables from another car. Could it be something other than the battery? Help please!

Answers from the Automotive Experts

Dear Dale, While the battery may be fine, it sounds like the cables may be loose. If the battery cables are not getting a good connection then sometimes the vehicle will not start. See if you can move the cables back and forth, if you can, tighten them and this should take care of the problem. Lori Johnson
