Installed new battery minutes ago. Lights, horn work but car won't start. Won't even crank.
Hi:
I am not sure what was the reason why your battery needed replacing, but if it was dead, I am guessing your alternator wasn't charging it?
Take off the serpentine belt on your engine, and check to see if all accessory items turn smoothly, to include the power steering pump, AC, alternator, and the idler pulley. If any of these wont turn , the car won't crank either. If you totally remove the belt, you can see if the car will start, and go from there, but don't let it run too long without the belt.
