Q: Car cranks but wont start
changed battery ..car wont start
My car has 93000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
You did not list a vehicle in your question so this answer is general in nature. There have been many complaints when the batteries are replaced and then the vehicle will crank and no start due to the theft system becomes active. Sometimes all you have to do is remove your key, lock all your doors and close the hood and then wait ten to thirty minutes and then unlocking the door using the key and not the remote and then see if the vehicle starts normally.
