The car won't start. We tried jumping it, that failed. We think it may be because it's been outside and it's cold, but it's only 47 degrees F. Anyone know of a fix besides waiting until morning?

 

Don't know why yours won't start, but it's certainly not because "it's outside and it's cold".

 

It turns out the starter was bad and now it has to be replaced along with the spark plugs and the leads going into the starter...

 

Dude 47 F is not cold!

I don't care where you are from, below 30F is when things start to get cold.

True cold is 0F and frozen **** stiff is -40F

fyi : -40f = -40c if anyone is interested

Happy that you figured out your problem. And really it's a cheap fix.
