Q: Engine cannot turn over - 2008 Hyundai Entourage

asked by on September 12, 2016

The dash in my van was showing the check engine light on. So, I had the batteries recharged. Now, everything inside seems to be working fine, including the lights and other electronic features but the engine cannot turn over. What has caused this?
