Hit speed bump and car stalled now will no start help?

Here are some steps you can follow to see if you can get your car started again:

Check the fuel level: Make sure there is enough fuel in the tank. If the fuel level is low, try adding some fuel to see if that makes a difference.

Inspect the battery: Check the battery to see if it is securely connected and that the terminals are clean and free of corrosion. If the battery is dead or disconnected, it may need to be recharged or replaced.

Look for any leaks: Check for any visible leaks under the car that could be causing a loss of fluid, such as brake fluid or transmission fluid. These leaks can sometimes affect the ability of the vehicle to start.

Try to restart the car: Attempt to start the car again and listen for any unusual sounds or signs of activity. If the car makes a "clicking" sound when you turn the key, it could indicate a starter issue.

Use a jumper cable: If you have jumper cables, you can try to jump-start the car using another vehicle. Connect the positive (red) cable from the working vehicle to the positive terminal on the stalled vehicle, and then connect the negative (black) cable from the working vehicle to a metal surface on the stalled vehicle, not the battery. Try starting the car again.

Seek professional help: If you are unable to start the car, it is recommended to seek help from a mechanic or a roadside assistance service. They will be able to diagnose the specific problem and recommend the necessary repairs.
