Why is my Ford EcoSport not starting?

I just bought a second-hand Ford EcoSport and it's been working fine until yesterday when it wouldn't start. The dashboard lights are on but the engine doesn't even make any noise. What could be the problem and how can I fix it?

Hi Samantha! It sounds like you may have a dead battery. Try jump starting your car or have a mechanic test the battery for you. If it's not the battery, it could be a faulty starter motor or an electrical issue. It's always best to have a professional diagnose the problem for an accurate solution.

Hi Samantha, another possibility is a faulty ignition switch. If your car's lights and electronics are working, but the engine won't start, it could be due to a faulty ignition switch. Have a mechanic check this out for you along with the battery and starter motor.
