POS car won't start any ideas?
Ok so it's 430am and the car won't start when I tried to start it it only clicks as if the battery was dead... I attempted to jump the car but it not the battery light windows and radio work just fine... I thought maybe the engine is seized but the belt and all pulleys turn so I'm out of ideas. It ran beautifully last night with no unusual sounds. I thought maybe the starter but their was no signs of it dying if that's what it is.

Sounds like you either need to charge replace your battery. Just because other electrical components work, doesn't mean your battery isn't low. Your starter requires much more power than anything else your car uses. Maybe something got left on? Ie: interior light, headlights, etc. Also, if you are trying to use low grade jumper cables, they might not allow enough charge to get your car started. This has happened to me. If you get your car jumped, you may need to run it for an hour or more to allow the alternator enough time to charge your battery, or you may end up with the same situation. If your car continues to do this over the next few weeks, then its most likely your alternator. When your alternator stops working, your cars electrical system runs off the battery, eventually draining it until your car won't run any longer. Most auto part stores will test your battery and alternator at no charge.

Battery seems fine but I still replaced with a different one and it dose the same thing. My thinking now is that it might be the starter cylinoid, we had some horrible snow and flooding the past few days so maybe some water or ice got inside and is screwing me over. |
