car won't start
I've got a 2000 camaro ss, and i went to turn it on this morning and it started but sounded weird starting up. after about 20 seconds i had to turn it off cause i forgot something in the house and when i came back out and tried to start it again, nothing. i put in the clutch and turn the key but all that happens is a humming(fuel pump?) and then clicking that sounds like it's coming from the engine bay. any ideas?
thanks guys
thanks guys

i don't have a volt meter but the battery cables are tight and all the lights work. i turn the key and it clicks but that's it then when i let go of the key all the gauges jump to the right then fall back to off position

well my dad says it's probably the battery so we were taking it out to get it tested but the positive(red) side bolt attaching to the battery was really corroded and now it's stripped. how do i get it off now? is there any way to cut the old positive end off and get a new one?
