I washed my car in the local washing center, and after washing it didn't start, everything was okay, car cranks but didn't start, got the nozzle and DRV checked, they were okay. The lights are working battery is okay, no check light, but car does not start.

Hello,

Did you clean the engine as well?
It is likely that water got in the engine and that could prevent it from starting.

Have you tried to jump start it?

An engine will need spark and fuel to start so if you have water in any of the components that can prevent that from happening.
Look for any water under the hood on any of the electrical components.
You might want to check to see if you are getting spark to the plugs.

Please let me know what you are able to observe and if you have tried anything else.
Thank you.
