Hello, thank you for answering us.
We’re stuck in a parking places. We drove 30 minutes and had a shopping break. Came back to the car, the engine doesn’t start.the batterie isn’t flat because all the lights work.
I checked all the fuses and they’re all good.
When I tried to turn on the engine, it didn’t crinkle.

With the lights on, press the horn does the lights dim?

If the lights dim, then the battery is weak and you can try giving it a jump start.
If the lights stay strong, sounds like the starter is at fault and would need replacement.

I did it 2 times, the first time the lights were a tiny bit weaker . The second time, no change.

If you can, disconnect the negative terminal, turn the key in the start position place back the negative cable and now try to start. If that does not work then most likely the starter is no good.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
