When you replaced the battery did you clean the terminals. Make sure the terminals are tight. Maybe your starter motor is on the way out

How well does your engine crank over? Does it crank over easily when it starts? When were your spark plugs last replaced? They should be replaced about every 30,000 miles. Does your check engine light stay on while driving? If so, go to a mechanic and they will scan for codes. Make sure your using good fuel in your tank, and if it is on cold mornings your car won't start, its not a bad idea to buy a bottle of HEET or preferably Seafoam to add in your tank to prevent fuel line freeze ups. Make sure your fuel filter is changed between 5,000 and 10,000 miles and don't run your vehicle below 1/4 of a tank if possible to extend the life of the filter.

2006 Gmc Envoy SLE won't crank no power window, no power lock, all gauges on cero

(I replaced the battery this morning, it doesn't change anything and it for some reason is draining the battery) Something draining the battery - you have a parasitic draw on the battery, like something is on but isn't. More than likely the instrument cluster is the problem. Silver solder migration on the circuit board inside the instrument cluster can cause a parasitic drain on the electrical system. Also, can short out the serial data network causing no start conditions.

The key turn but the car dont start, but when i kick start it it start and i wont have a problem the hole day starting only in the morning

The battery needs to be replaced. After the first start in the morning the battery gets charged and the engine is also "hot" making it easier for the starter motor to turn it over. Therefor less current is drawn from the battery and you get a start every time. In the morning the engine is cold making it difficult to turn. The battery rested the night loosing some charge and is also cold which affects the current it can deliver at that stage. With the cold engine it is not able to turn it fast enough to get it started. A new battery will solve your problem.

Why engine cranks but won't start every morning? Glow plugs have been replaced

because when you use the car after morning the battery gets charged and so does capacitor attached with it .. but it morning the whole charge flows out of capacitor .. but when car is new capacitor get recharged instantly (powered by battery) but after some year it takes bit of time to actually inginite the machine process with spark by capacitor and first , 2nd attempts are not enough for power(so cranks) it up and after that battery charges capacitor to optimum level then car starts and we are ready to go.

I have a 2001 Honda Civic that would not crank and battery would not hold a charge, so I replaced the battery. It started up right away; then, the car sat for the weekend and when I went to start it this...

It could be a charging issue. But it could also be that something is draining the battery. To test the alternator you'll first have to charge the battery using a battery charger. Then follow this test.

If the alternator passes, then conduct a battery drain test with this procedure
