No, cehcek that the terminals aren't corroided.
Maybe even remove them and clean them up.
Then try jump start.

2004 Yukon battery drains if not started and used next day Can charge and start it

Something is staying on after you turn the ignition off draining the battery. There are some good diy videos on you-tube. Disconnect your battery positive when done driving until you can find problem.

the heavy lead from the back of the alternator goes to the battery. this lead charges the battery and is probably loose or corroded at one end or the other.

My 2001 chevy suburban just went totally dead and wont start

Look at both of your battery cables to see if there is any built up corrision around the post. Next, check to see if your battery is charged and if it will hold a charge with a battery recharger

About 3 weeks ago, the battery in my 2001 chevy lumina died. I wasn't able to drive it for about a week and went out today to do so and the lights came on, dimly, and the car wouldn't start. The battery...

Well, I would charge the battery with a plug in battery charger for about 3 days to make sure it is fully charged.

If the battery doesn't take a charge, then I would replace the battery.

Make sure the connections are shiny, clean and tight at the contact points.

After the battery is charged, then I would have it tested for starting/charging at your local parts store or Sears or Walmart or other battery retailer.

Remember, batteries only last 3 years on average, so if charging it doesn't solve the starting problem, then I would consider buying a new battery for the vehicle.

Good luck on this repair.

Have your alternator tested.Your car will not stay running if the alternator is not producing enough power to keep the battery charged.Also have your battery tested and fully charged.Make sure your cables are in good shape.

1999 chevy lumina with a new battery that will not turn over. AAA can jump it and it will start and run for ever until it is turned off then it will not start again. Jumping it from another car usually...

because aaa can jump start it and you can't sounds like maybe the battery cables are curroided (dirty)
in-between the battery post and the clamps, clean the battery terminals and charge your battery as a loose conection can run down even a new battery

Has power but wont start or turn over

Sounds like your battery is flat. Their is enough charge in the battery to make the ignition lights, radio etc come on but not enough to engage the starter motor which requires much higher power. Try jump starting the car or charging the battery as a first step. If the car is a manual you could push start it. Once you get it running the battery will charge back up and will even start the car but dont be deceived, if the battery is failing you will have the same problem again in the next day or so.

Chevy lumina 1995 van

I have a 96 Chevy Lumina with an electric sliding side door. A few weeks ago we started having problems with it. I went to work and when I got ready to leave it would not start. I had to have it jumped. Got home and let it set over the Thanksgiving weekend. Went to start it the Mon/Tues after and nothing. Let it set another week and still nothing. We jumped it again and it took 15 minutes to get enough of a charge in the battery to get it started. Took it to a battery store and they checked the battery and said that was the problem. We replaced the battery (it wasn't that old) and went home. A few days later it wouldn't start again. Could this problem have anything to do with the electric slinding door? if so, any suggetions on how to fix it?
