Why won’t my Mini Cooper start if there’s no clicking?

Most articles say that a clicking noise coming from your engine means that your car has a faulty starter, but I don’t hear any clicking from my car even though it won’t crank. Why won’t my Mini Cooper start?

Typically when a
Mini Cooper
won’t start and there’s no clicking coming from your engine, you can trace the issue back to an electrical issue.
The most common types of electrical issues in these cases are:
  • Dead battery
  • Battery with an extremely low charge
  • Disconnected battery
  • Corroded battery terminals
  • Frayed or damaged wires
  • Faulty alternator
You could try to
jump-start your car
, but this might not work or even make the issue worse if you misdiagnose the problem. Overall, it might be best to call your mechanic to get the issue assessed professionally.
If you’re worried about the price of repairs, consider cutting down your
Mini car insurance costs
