Possible reasons why the car will not start due to electrical problems:

1. Discharged or faulty battery

* Check the lights (headlights, turn signals) – if they are dim or do not work, the battery is most likely low.
* Check battery terminals for corrosion or looseness.
* Replace or recharge the battery.

2. Faulty starter

* When you turn the key, you hear a clicking sound, but the engine does not start.
* Check the starter connections and make sure they are clean and tight.
* Replace or repair the starter.

3. Faulty engine control unit (ECU)

* The ECU controls all electrical and mechanical systems of the engine.
* Check fault codes using OBD2 scanner.
* Replace or repair the ECU if necessary.

4. Wiring problems

* Inspect the wires under the hood and in the interior for signs of damage or chafing.
* Fix any obvious wiring problems and replace damaged wires.

5. Malfunction of the ignition switch

* Check that the key turns smoothly and completely to the “Start” position.
* Replace the ignition switch if it is faulty.

6. Faulty generator

* The generator charges the battery and provides power to the vehicle.
* Check the generator voltage using a voltmeter or OBD2 scanner.
* Replace or repair the generator if necessary.

7. Other electrical problems

* Faulty ignition distributor
