I went to start my car early in the morning after it was -10 overnight and forgot to plug my car in. The car turned over once then would not turn over again. The battery is still good but it on won't turn over. Can anyone help me with this problem as soon as possible. Thank

I was stationed in Alaska for 3 years, Ive seen many people forget to plug in their car, try to start it and crack the block destroying the engine. If you forget to plug it in a night DO NOT TRY TO START IT,,, plug it in and let it be for a day or so that it unfreezes your engine,,, THEN start it up... You could have damaged your engine,, have it checked out...

Plug the car in a couple of hours before starting. The block heater does just that it keeps the block and the oil warm. This allows the car to start easier and less strain on your battery.

Your timer is off till eventually you confirm to plug it in back an devour capacity. to respond to you question to commence your engine with it on received't damage something. on the instantaneous swap on your defroster your rear window defogger, and a couple of minutes your goner

Plug the heater in . If ti is broke go buy a dip stick heater .It goes where your oil dip stick goes in . Where you check the oil . It will heat up the oil .If you dont want to do that have some one jump start it .

Keep car in garage helps alot, car starts easier because car is cooled down slower in the garage, then leaving outside where cools down rapidly.

10 below is not that cold, it should of started if in good running condition. I'd be sure to have a good battery and proper mix of coolant.

Batteries get weaker when they're cold. If it was half gone to start, that's it. -10 ain't cold.
