Car has full battery, all lights wipers working, but won't turn over. Yet it will go on a push start in just a few feet. The battery is charging when the motor is running. It makes no attempt to turn over. Many thanks

Hello, I'm Danny.

If the engine is not turning/cranking over it sounds like it might be the starter motor/ starter solenoid due to the fact you can push start the vehicle. Here are a few tutorials for you to view for what's involved:

Most local auto parts stores will test your starter motor for free.Let me know if you have any further questions.Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
