The Smart does not start, what could be the reasons?
Years 2007-2015

Answer

If your Smart does not start, I recommend that you check the battery first. If you have never replaced it, it may be necessary to do so. If, on the other hand, the battery is new or almost new then it could be the alternator. Beware of those who entrust it for this problem, it could be a cable that tends to cut itself due to vibrations, but without experience they could suggest you to change the alternator at a very different expense!
