Why won’t my car start but the windows roll down?

I’ve been trying to get my car started this morning, but it doesn’t want to! Oddly enough, the windows are still working. Why won’t my car start even though the windows roll down?

I’m sorry to hear that! That’s such a headache.
If your car won’t start, but the windows roll down, you likely have a faulty starter or an ignition problem. Odds are the battery is fully charged, which is what’s powering the windows. The best way to remedy the problem is to call a mechanic for a diagnosis.
