- Providing the battery is in known to be in good condition, it is the next obvious point of a vehicle failing to turn over.

How do you start a car with a bad starter motor?
The method to use to start a car with a bad starter motor will depend on the starter motor's issue. Often the starting issue will be due to a bad or weak battery.
