Question type: General

Went out this morning and my car would not start.
It's a 04 Honda Pilot and I just bought it almost 3
weeks ago.. I know it could be the battery in which I
can get a new one, but what should I do

Assuming you have fuel in the car... Do you hear any clicking when trying to turn the engine? If you hear clicking your battery is low or bad. Try to jump start the car first. Easiest way to check if battery is good or not is to hook up voltmeter. Attach the negative voltmeter lead to the negative battery terminal. Check the voltmeter. If your battery is in good condition, the voltage should be between 12.4 and 12.7 volts. A reading lower than 12.4 volts means that your battery needs to be charged.
