    gas or Diesel? computerized or regular? Mileage? What happens once you turn the foremost to start? in case you bounce from the Battery to the Starter Solenoid Will it turn Over? Nuetral or seize risk-free practices will supply up All ability to the Ignition gadget. Did the guy installation an alarm with an immobilizer? particularly no longer undemanding with out extra information!

    if u have charged the battery and it still does it, then its your starter. your starter fell into a dead spot and cant turn. u need to bump it and get it out of the dead spot. it happened to me. it will eventually become a daily thing until you replace it. i had to carry a hammer and just go under my car and hit the starter and then get back up and start my car... i know it reallly ghettoo....lol

    depends on the buzzing sound really:

    a loud (incorrect) buzzer - probably the starter selinoid

    A long spinning sound - that is the starter bendix.

    Either way your looking at about 100.00 or so to repair and get ya back on the road !!!

    first thing to do is clean and retighten battery cables type into search box how to clean battery cables then after it starts drive to any shop or parts store ask them to check charging system then you know for sure if you have a bad battery or a bad alternator or its something else most places they check for free

    1 always start with battery...got power and connections clean?

    2 if all ok its starter solenoid...some have separate one but most are in/on the starter...replace whole unit..

    it could be a few things like dirty battery terminals, a bad battery, the starter could be stuck or a bad solenoid.
